At a time when an average consultation fee with a reputable fertility specialist runs anywhere from $500 to $1000, not including testing, a sneak preview of what to expect from such a meeting can go a long way in saving the patient years of heartache, time and a sizable financial investment.
In What to Expect from a Fertility Expert: Tips on Increasing Pregnancy Success Rates from Three Prominent Fertility Specialists, Julia Indichova interviews—Sami David, Jamie Grifo, and Jonathan Scher—about their practices, their assumptions, and their results. She asks them the questions that potential clients, including those just beginning their journey toward parenting and those who have tried assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF, or egg donation without success, would ask.
Aside from their track record, the fertility specialists featured in the e-book present sobering critical observations of the growing infertility industry with its poor diagnostic practices, misuse of assisted reproduction, and omission of often overlooked simple testing that can make a difference between success and failure of assisted reproductive technologies.
