    "This second edition provides a very good overview of common medical complications in the IVF patient … trainees and junior reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialists will find this book a good supplement to their clinical practice."
    —Kenan Rifat Omurtag, MD for Doody's Review Service

    From reviews of the first edition:

    "This is a very apt and concise book on the subject … but also provides evidence-based discussion of other complex situations such as managing hydrosalpinges and fibroids … This book should be read by every specialist dealing with large numbers of patients undergoing IVF as they will encounter these patients and will benefit from up-to-date and accurate data presented here." (Highly Commended, Obstetrics & Gynaecology Category, 2006 BMA Medical Book Competition)

    "This book attempts to highlight an important but neglected area of practice. It is highly original and a much-needed resource for clinicians working in IVF and infertility units." (The Society of Authors and the Royal Society of Medicine Book Awards 2006)
