A lot of fertility experts may claim to have enough knowledge about reproductive issues, but Dr. Richard Marrs’ “Fertility Book” will definitely take these so-called experts by surprise.
Yes, as he uncovers every aspect of fertility-related issues and gives enlightenment to those who are still struggling to get pregnant.
Dr. Marrs who is a pioneer in the area of assisted reproduction, dedicated most of his life assisting couples who have to bear with the devastating reality of infertility, exploring and developing treatments, and aiding couples to achieve pregnancy.
The book contains all that couples need to know, about getting through infertility problems and achieving pregnancy, based on real life experiences of couples and the latest developments in research and technologies.
This 528-page paperback, which was published on February 9, 1998, projects a straightforward view on infertility backed by vivid illustrations, charts, and diagrams as well as reviews on the root cause of infertility and its appropriate treatment.
Dr. Marrs, who sits as the head of the Institute for Fertility Research in California at the same time functions as an editor of Assisted Reproductive Technologies, does not give a cursory explanation on the downside of failed treatments and the possibility of a cure.
Instead, Marrs carefully maps out the path and the purpose that his book should take as he discusses the technologies pertaining to assisted reproduction such as the latest embryology lab techniques.
Unlike other infertility books, Marrs also dwell on immunological problems that can adversely affect the fertility of a person. What is good is that he does not confine his discussion within one immune disorder but rather expound largely on the developments of reproductive immunology.
The Fertility Book also tackles how financial and emotional issues can affect the fertility of a person and this particular discussion in the book was a contribution of the book’s co-author Lisa Friedman Bloch, who was a former patient of Dr. Marrs.
Aside from the useful discussions and tips, the book also has glossaries at the end of every chapter as well as vital fertility resources and a list of adoption groups that can be of help to the readers’ future decisions.
This fertility primer must be a fundamental reference in public libraries but if you can get one for your own home then that would be great as this book is highly recommended and definitely a good read that contains revolutionary information and sympathetic counseling from one of the prominent figures of America’s topnotch fertility institutes.
Through this book, Dr. Marrs was able to convey all the necessary information that fertility patients need to know in a tone that is not condescending, but rather enlightening to most patients dealing with infertility issues.
This book is definitely a must have and a must read.
