-- DR RAJ MATHUR, Chair, British Fertility SocietyAn utterly brilliant book. Fully comprehensive and reader-friendly. I wish it had been around when I was on my own fertility journey.
-- JESSICA HEPBURN, founder of Fertility FestInability to conceive is tremendously stressful for many couples. Whilst there is no shortage of information, it is difficult to separate what is credible and evidence-based from wishful theories and anecdotes. This is where The Fertility Book makes a unique contribution, by synthesising and presenting credible evidence to inform one's fertility journey. If you are struggling to have a baby, make time for this book. It will help you.
-- PROF ARRI COOMARASAMY, Director, Tommy’s National Centre for Miscarriage Research, University of BirminghamThis book has all that most need to optimise their fertility. It clearly explains the science in ways that should help couples feel empowered when it comes to making what could be some of the most important decisions of their lives.
