A pioneer in the field of assisted reproduction, Dr. Richard Marrs has spent his life counseling couples who struggle with the pain of infertility, developing new treatments, and helping thousands to experience the wonder of birth.

Based on the latest research and technologies--and the real-life experiences of thousands of couples--Dr. Marrs tells you everything you need to know about getting pregnant, including:

  • Which cutting-edge advances in reproductive technology--including in vitro, gift, zift, sperm manipulation, and immunological therapy--are right for you

  • The biggest mistake doctors make when a man's sperm count is borderline or subnormal
  • Which fertility drugs work best...and the side effects you should expect

  • When to change doctors or see a specialist
  • The good news about using a partner's sperm and not a donor's...even if your partner's count is very low

    I did not find this book to be helpful & my IVF nurse laughed and told me to get a refund when I showed it to her.

    Good introductory book

    This is a perfectly good book, but I found Dr. Silber's "How to Get Pregnant" and Dr. Potter's "What to Do When You Can't Get Pregnant" to be much more informative. Dr. Silber's book is especially good if you are science-oriented and want to understand the chemical aspects of both natural and assisted conception (it has excellent graphs and diagrams). Dr. Marr's book may be better used as a "starter" book when you're first diagnosed with infertility, as it is more of an overview than the other two. Check them out at the library before you buy!!

    I am a surrogate mother that worked with Dr. Marrs from July of '04 to July of '05. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him, his staff and his practice. I wanted to take a look back at all of our procedures and get a better understanding of all we went through. I feel privileged to have a copy of his book!

    Great Guide to anyone working through infertility

    After 6 years of trying to start a family we purchased this book. Two years later we managed to conceive, however we lost the baby at 8 weeks. Although we are lost at the moment we will try again.

    This book helped us to conceive. It's also helping us with our miscarriage. I have shared this book with others and they have all found it helpful. We have purchased other titles, however non-compare.

    It is easy to read and understand. Definitely recommend this to anyone trying to understand their infertility and options.

    Excellent for Female Infertility & Ave. for male infertility

    If you want one book to do it all, get this one.

    At least it provides you with a vision of most of the issues surrounding infertility.

    It provides excellent information on female infertility issues.

    It provides cursory information about male infertility issues.

    We have recommended and loaned out this book to several friends, and they all were happy with the details provided.
