Out of the three IVF books I was to review, this book is in the middle of the spectrum. One book was deeply personal to the writer (IVF: The Wayward Stork) and one was very clinical and matter of factly full of information on the procedure (The Couple's Guide to In Vitro Fertilization). This book has several patient stories about their trials and tribulations as an IVF patient.
There is no glossary or resource guide list but it does have a very good way to touch your heart. While not every story will mirror the reader's own story or reason behind exploring IVF, but it does have several accounts so that you will see the similarities and the differences between the individuals. I like how they don't just tell each couple's story all at once; they break it up between the chapters so that their "story" will have shine a light on the section that they wish to illuminate. It makes for a more interesting read, and a clearer picture of the procedures.
At 16 chapters, it is very thorough. Out of the three, it is definitely one I'd keep near as a reference for futher questions to the IVF doctor. It is one to keep with you at each stage of your own personal journey
