Background One out of ten couples in the United States experiences problems with infertility. In 40% of cases, failing to conceive can be directly attributable to the female and can involve a number of possible causes including physical, hormonal and psychological factors. Likewise, in 40% of cases, infertility can be directly attributable to the male. In the remaining 20% of cases, infertility is generally caused by a combination of female and male deficit factors or in some cases, is simply unexplained. The Fertility Handbook was written expressly to deal with infertility and the problems associated with getting pregnant. Co-author Melanie Clark writes from personal experience about the physical and emotional challenges of infertility. She spent three years undergoing infertility options and treatments before she and her husband were finally successful in becoming the parents of triplets. "Most people don't realize or appreciate that failing to conceive can be a life crisis that requires both medical and emotional support". With her co-author and physician of reproductive endocrinology, Dr. Maud Doherty, Clark states "We offer valuable information that will help others make informed decisions in seeking pregnancy. New technologies and treatments are making pregnancy possible for many couples who might otherwise never have conceived." Dr. Doherty, who has clinically diagnosed, consulted, treated and advised thousands of women having difficulty getting pregnant, adds "Among the women I see, one of the greatest fears expressed is that of never being able to have children. I tell them science has made tremendous advances in offering solutions to infertility and increasing the probability of successful conception." Synopsis and Chapter Outline The Fertility Handbook offers definitive information about, and solutions to, the many problems and questions involved in getting pregnant successfully. Chapter topics are described as follows:
