Your essential infertility companion (Updated ed)

Originally published in 1997, and now updated to cover all the latest developments and changes, this is a comprehensive guide to available IVF treatment.It contains information on: how the reproductive system works; the different causes of fertility problems; the drug and treatment options available; how will the treatments make me feel?; the medical technology - how does it work?; self-help and complementary medicine to help with fertility, and during IVF; IVF, infertility and your relationship as a couple; the alternatives - adoption and fostering.This also provides a guide to every UK clinic and hospital offering IVF.
