This is my new fertility dictionary! I can look up all the technical stuff that I need to know while trying to conceive (ttc). It has given me a 'game plan' for what I need to do next. I have used this book to figure out the RIGHT questions before my doctor's visits and understand all that he said afterwards. I also really appreciate the personal stories. I have gotten down and out (even though I've only been trying to have a baby for six months) and worried about what it will take to get pregnant and hearing about other people the same as me has been kind of comforting. I have read some of the stories and suggestions about relationships to my husband as well. He and I have been at each other's throats during this process and at least it has given us some things to laugh about as well.

More so than any fertility book I have read so far, this book combines all the technical information with the emotional side as well.

Fertility for Dummies has become my new fertility dictionary! I have been trying to conceive (ttc!) for 6 months now and this book has helped me form a 'game plan' for what I should do next. I check this before and after my doctor visits to figure out what to ask and then understand what he told me! I also appreciate the stories inside. I have been down and out (even though it hasn't been as long of a struggle as some people have described, so far) and worrying about what it will take to get me pregnant and it helps to hear about other people the same way. Also, my husband and I have been at each other's throats during this procedure and it helps to read him parts of the book that talk about dealing wtih relationships too. If nothing else, it lets us laugh together again.

This has been the first fertility book that I have read that gives me both the technical view as well as the real life emotional stuff.

Having just hit the 2 year mark in trying to conceive this book is long overdue. One of the authors is an IVF nurse and the other is a 3 year infertility success story. They cover everything from starting out naturally through the whole IVF experience. They captured so many of my feelings and experiences, from being the human pin-cushion with endless dr appts to dealing with those difficult baby showers. It also has a great Cheat Sheat that covers common terms used on all the fertility message boards, the 5 most important tests, and normal blood test results during a cycle. It is filled with personal stories and I came away from it knowing once again that I'm not alone. I'm thinking about getting it for all of my friends and family members who have shared my experience so they can have a better idea of what it is all about. My last two years encapsulated in a Dummies book. Thank you Jackie and Sharon for taking the time to write such a comprehensive and important book.
