Essential advice on preparing your body for IVF and other fertility treatments
Embarking on IVF – or any assisted fertility treatment – can be a very demanding, expensive and stressful experience, but the right physical, nutritional and emotional support can lessen these stresses and strains and increase chances of success. In Zita West’s clear and sensitive style she offers an in-depth explanation of all aspects of fertility and, uniquely, addresses the issues involved in assisted conception. She explains:
- Fertility MOT: All aspects of fertility (for men and women) – from preconception and trying naturally through to assisted conception.
- How to improve and look after the eggs you have.
- What is involved in the IVF process; when it works and when it fails
- How to prepare your body to increase your chances of conceiving, through lifestyle and a proactive approach to diet and nutrition
- How complementary therapies, such as acupuncture, can increase your chances of success
- How to keep your relationship together – understanding how each partner feels
- Moving on from IVF through egg donation, surrogacy and the decision to remain childless.
This is an invaluable guide for the growing number of people who are
considering, or have already embarked on, medical intervention.
