If you’re in the dark about what is causing your infertility I highly recommend this book by Dr. Robert Green, an experienced and sought-after reproductive expert. In addition to understanding the treatment of infertility as a physician he’s also been on the patient side with his wife, which makes his writing so much more personal.

Green’s book leaves you with no stone unturned. The book is written as if the author is your doctor, guiding you through each possibility. He begins at the first step, which examines your basic lifestyle and provides information on how it could be affecting your fertility. He then identifies physical factors by giving the reader information on each hormone and organ needed for conception. He includes handy charts for the reader to fill out and evaluate their own situation. These charts accompanied with the basic information about physical factors allow the reader to slowly deduce what their problem may be.

Green is persistent in the idea that “less is more” in regard to fertility treatments. He focuses primarily on what is often the root of the problem: hormonal imbalance. The hormonal imbalances he’s seen in his experience have often been treatable through diet and exercise. He emphasizes how stress, environmental toxins and weight and diet issues all contribute to fertility in ways that most doctors don’t address before putting a patient on the road to expensive treatments. He also delves deep into each fertility disruption such as endometriosis, PCOS and sluggish sperm with recommended treatments.

This book gives the reader a feeling of hope and viable options in how to deal with their infertility and optimizing conception. Dr. Greene believes that couples do not seek help for their fertility problems out of fear of failure. It is for those couples that this book was written and those couples that will benefit most from its information and message. Pick up a copy here.
