Reviews

'The beauty of this book is that it is very easy to understand and is written in simple English language. It is very useful for a learner working in a subfertility unit, and it would also be helpful as a handbook for clinical use on a daily basis ... I feel this book would be useful as a guidebook for infertility at all levels.' Tahira Batool Chaudhry, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
