Give yourself the best-possible odds for getting pregnant and
having a baby with this concise, expert, and encouraging companion
as your guide. In the only general guide to infertility written by
a medical doctor who specializes in the subject, Mark Trolice,
MD—who is board-certified in both OB/GYN and REI (Reproductive
Endocrinology and Infertility)—shares the practical knowledge he
has gained from working in infertility medicine for years, with
many hundreds of patients, along with the warmth and wisdom he has
acquired from getting to know prospective parents from all kind of
backgrounds. The journey from infertility to fertility, from
childlessness to a brand-new baby, can be long and arduous. It
involves complicated medical diagnoses, a wide range of treatment
options, a host of potential lifestyle changes, lots of emotional
ups and downs, and—even with the best medical
insurance—challenging financial decisions. Your doctors cannot
decide everything for you, and that is why an authoritative and
comprehensive book, written in clear and understandable language
for the layperson, is essential. This is that book. The book opens
with an exploration of all the possible causes of infertility,
covering both couples who have never been pregnant and ones who
have had recurrent losses of pregnancies. Unique among
infertility guides, this volume gives roughly equal weight to male
and female causes, which is important because about 40% of
infertility cases are due to men's issues—and some couples need
to address issues in both the prospective mother and prospective
father. It covers endometriosis, fibroids, POS (Polycystic Ovarian
Syndrome), tubal factor, male factor, and other possible causes.
Next it looks at your treatment options. Importantly, these are not
just medical interventions, but they also include lifestyle changes
you alone can make, involving sleep, diet, exercise, and other
forms of self-care. Among medical options, IUI (Intrauterine
Insemination), Â IVFÂ (In Vitro Fertilization), and
various surgical procedures are covered in detail. Some couples are
lucky to have a short journey to fertility. For others, the process
takes years. With a gentle and sure hand, and non-judgmentally, Dr.
Trolice guides you through the many decisions you need to make
along the way, such as whether or not to continue treatments,
whether to change practitioners or treatments, and whether it is a
good idea to continue to spend money on procedures not covered by
your insurance. He understands that these are emotionally weighty
decisions that involve the future of your family, and he provides
ample grounds for optimism and hope, empowering you as you take
this journey.
