I recommend this book to patients and their families. The content is evidence-based and includes up-to-date diagnostic and treatment modalities.
This guide serves as a companion for those seeking information on preconception preparation, infertility testing and treatment, fertility preservation, the unique issues faced by the LGBTQIA+ community, and even the financial and emotional detours individuals may deal with along the way. As an infertility specialist, I give this book my highest recommendation to a wide spectrum of people looking for a comprehensive guide to enhance their fertility journey.
This inclusive, comprehensive, fact-based book covers all social, medical, emotional, and financial aspects of infertility and family building.
In addition to being an expert clinician, Dr. Sanfilippo puts patients first and leans into their journeys to help them get on the right path. This collection of patients' reproductive journeys is accompanied by Dr. Sanfilippo's and Dr. Kumar's descriptions of the conditions and treatments that played a role in each. These intertwined stories are ones that patients and clinicians will appreciate.
