Mayo Clinic Guide to Fertility and Conception

A helpful medical reference on conceiving and maintaining pregnancy from the Mayo Clinic, #1 on US News & World Report's 2020-2021 Best Hospitals Honor Roll.

Deciding to start or build a family is a life-changing decision. Once the decision is made, there's a whole new set of unknowns—including whether the journey will be easy or difficult. How can you increase your chances of becoming pregnant? What health and lifestyle changes should you make to have a healthy pregnancy? And if you're struggling to become pregnant, what medical treatments are available? Where can you get emotional support if you can't get pregnant or if you've had a miscarriage? And when is enough?

The fertility experts at Mayo Clinic offer answers to these questions and more. Through the pages of this book, they'll guide you through the process of trying for—and achieving—a successful pregnancy. You'll also hear throughout the book from couples and individuals who have struggled to have a family. For a variety of reasons—health conditions, unexplained infertility, or life circumstances—getting pregnant or deciding to have a family was difficult for them. These personal stories are to let you know that you're not alone in your journey, and to give you hope that with time and patience, pregnancy is often possible.

From lifestyle and dietary recommendations to understanding your ovulatory cycle to medications and procedures that can improve fertility, this book is a comprehensive source of answers from "one of the most reliable, respected health resources that Americans have" (Publishers Weekly).
