Knowledge is power and, in the disempowering situation of struggling to conceive, this book is an absolute game-changer. Whether you're brand new to the world of fertility or you've struggled for a while, this book is a beacon of clear, detailed information. It is an amazing resource and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is even considering having a go at conceiving!'
DR XAND VAN TULLEKEN, TV presenter, Honorary Associate Professor, University College London
This unique, patient-centred book provides high-quality clinical and scientific information, but with an emphasis on a holistic approach that seeks to empower readers. Comprehensive and authoritative, it is written in an easy, accessible style that makes it a pleasure to read and understand. Everyone concerned about their fertility should read it - and so should the clinicians looking after them!
DR RAJ MATHUR, Chair, British Fertility Society
An utterly brilliant book. Fully comprehensive and reader-friendly. I wish it had been around when I was on my own fertility journey.
JESSICA HEPBURN, founder of Fertility Fest
Inability to conceive is tremendously stressful for many couples. Whilst there is no shortage of information, it is difficult to separate what is credible and evidence-based from wishful theories and anecdotes. This is where The Fertility Book makes a unique contribution, by synthesising and presenting credible evidence to inform one's fertility journey. If you are struggling to have a baby, make time for this book. It will help you.
PROF ARRI COOMARASAMY, Director, Tommy’s National Centre for Miscarriage Research, University of Birmingham
This book has all that most need to optimise their fertility. It clearly explains the science in ways that should help couples feel empowered when it comes to making what could be some of the most important decisions of their lives.
DR EDWARD MORRIS, President, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
I absolutely love this book. I have learnt so much. It is an ideal read for non-medical professionals who wish to gain an understanding of the medical side of fertility treatments.
ANGELA PERICLEOUS-SMITH, Chair, British Infertility Counselling Association
A comprehensive and easily understandable text for couples who wish to take a proactive approach, optimising their chances of starting a healthy family. Highly recommended for women and men.
PROF BASKY THILAGANATHAN, Clinical Director, Tommy’s National Centre for Maternity Improvement
The Fertility Book is a comprehensive and reliable source of information for those with fertility problems and an essential read in a time when medical fictions spread faster than medical facts.
SARAH NORCROSS, Director, Progress Educational Trust
Balen and Dugdale have managed to distil a huge amount of complex information about fertility into an easily accessible read which includes a lot to help men, who are often overlooked. I highly recommended this book
PROF ALLAN PACEY, MBE, Professor of Andrology, Head of Oncology and Metabolism, Sheffield University
Having such high-quality and up-to-date information on reproductive health all available in one place is really important for women's health and well-being.

The Fertility Book is a thorough and comprehensive guide to the issues that can cause fertility problems. It helps readers navigate a pathway through the tests and treatments they may face.
KATE BRIAN, Fertility Network UK
Taking care of your own health is really powerful, but that needs evidence-based, reputable sources of information, and the help of medicine and science when necessary. The Fertility Book is all of that. It's a comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide to preparing for the road to conception, whether natural or assisted.
CATHERINE NESTOR, former Vice-Chair, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Women’s Network
This book is an invaluable resource for those on their fertility journey. An essential read!
