Description
After deciding to start a family, many questions may arise: how can I increase the chances of becoming pregnant? What health and lifestyle changes should be made for a healthy pregnancy? What medical treatments are available if conception is difficult? Where can I find emotional support?
In Mayo Clinic Guide to Fertility and Conception, the fertility experts at Mayo Clinic offer the answers to these questions and more. This book acts as a guide through the process
of trying for — and achieving — a successful pregnancy, covering a variety of topics from getting ready for pregnancy and fertility preservation, to common fertility problems and deciding when pregnancy isn’t obtainable.
In addition to expert discussions on solutions to difficult conception and maintaining a pregnancy, this book is also filled with stories from couples and individuals who have struggled to have a family for a variety of reasons, such as health concerns, unexplained infertility or life circumstances.
