FROM THE CRITICS
Judith Reichman
Since 1974, RESOLVE has provided invaluable information, as well as emotional and legislative support to thousands of couples and individuals who have not been able to have children. This book continues this service and is a wonderful guide to the work-up, medical treatments and alternative options in the brave new world of infertility.
Lynn S. Wilcox
Infertility is not only a clinical diagnosis but a series of medical, social, economic, and personal challenges. This book offers critical information on all these challenges to help couples and individuals make informed decisions as they work toward resolution.
Barbara Eck Menning
RESOLVE's mission is education, advocacy and support. Resolving Infertility offers all three generously. The great strength of this book is its discussion, not just of medical issues, but of the emotional and social impact of infertility and alternatives. Written in clear, user-friendly language, it befriends the reader, assuming no right or wrong decisions, but carefully spelling out the options.
