I picked this up at the library hoping to learn a thing or two, and was surprised to see that it's aimed at Australian readers. The science is solid and much of the advice is helpful, but readers in other countries should know that the financial advice and legal information about surrogacy and donors is only relevant in Australia. Many of the medication names are different, as well.
I'm sure if you're Australian, this book will be a huge help to you. It's clear and concise and follows the pattern of other "For Dummies" books. But if you're not Australian, I'd recommend skipping it.

One of the best books I've read in my fertility travels. Clear, easy to understand and generally upbeat. This book alleviated a lot of my concerns, and made me feel much better about the journey ahead
