Someone has told you that your eggs are old. Someone else has told you not to worry. A test result has arrived with a number on it that nobody has properly explained. And underneath all of it sits the only question that matters: how much time do I have, and what should I do with it?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr Moses Abe has spent three decades in fertility clinics and on labour wards-in Britain, Ireland and Australia-sitting across the table from women asking exactly that. This book is the conversation he has with them: unhurried, specific, and free of both the panic and the false comfort that dominate almost everything else written on the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINSIDE THIS BOOK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewhat actually changes after thirty-five, and what does not\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow to read AMH, antral follicle count and the other numbers you will be handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewhen to wait, when to test, and when to treat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIVF, egg freezing and donor eggs-what each can and cannot do at your age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emiscarriage, recurrent loss, and the risks that are rarely explained properly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eendometriosis, fibroids and PCOS, and how each changes the timeline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe male half of the picture, which is routinely ignored\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epregnancy after thirty-five: what the risks really are, in numbers you can use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe questions to ask at your next appointment, and the answers you should expect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewhich decisions are medical, and which are only ever yours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOR THE WOMEN-AND FOR THOSE WHO CARE FOR THEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was written for the woman in the waiting room. It was also written with her clinicians in mind. Fertility nurses, general practitioners, obstetricians and gynaecologists, reproductive medicine trainees, embryologists, midwives, fertility counsellors and psychologists will find here a single coherent account of what the evidence supports, where it stops, and how to say it out loud without either alarming a patient or patronising her. The hard part of this work is rarely knowing the science. It is explaining it to a frightened person in twenty minutes. This is a book about how that conversation should go-useful in the clinic, in teaching, and in preparation for examinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost fertility writing does one of two things. It frightens, or it soothes. Neither helps a woman decide anything. This book assumes you are an adult who can be told the truth, including the parts that are uncertain, and including the parts where medicine has less to offer than it likes to imply. The chapters are short and can be read in the order you need them rather than front to back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHonesty is not the same as bluntness. Nothing here is designed to push you towards treatment or to talk you out of hope. It is written by a doctor who has delivered the babies, run the cycles, and sat with the women for whom it did not work-and who believes you are owed the same information he would give a colleague.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have been offered either alarm or platitudes, this is the third thing: a specialist telling you the truth, and then leaving the decision where it belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr Moses Abe Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48239542206705,"sku":"9781764585507","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781764585507_p0.jpg?v=1780354015","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781764585507","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
