Why 3 steps?
Recently there has been an enormous amount of literature written on the field of infertility. Even TV documentaries and chat shows are featuring women telling their heartfelt story as people are becoming more aware of the rise of infertility cases in the UK.
If you have been unsuccessful in conceiving a baby it is difficult to know where to start. This is the problem I faced six years ago. Gynaecologists, midwives or naturopaths write most of the books on infertility. Their information is based on the world of infertility from their perspective, how to treat a couple. None are written by someone with infertility and has tried to make sense of it all! It is difficult to get inside the mind of a couple faced with infertility, to know what they expect, how they feel and how they will react. Guilt, frustration, depression, anxiety, failure, longing, jealousy, denial, anger, loneliness are but a few of the emotions that infertile couples experience at some point. How can they begin to understand us?
Marina had collated endless piles of information over the years and decided it was time to write about infertility from our perspective. Interpret the medical information and provide the right amount of sympathy, encouragement and support to answer the question we all desperately want to know -
'what can I do to get pregnant fast?'

The idea for '3 Steps to Fertility' was born!
When collating all the research, it became apparent that it fell naturally into three piles; information about the body and causes of infertility; the process of testing infertility and finally all the treatment options, complementary and conventional - the largest and most diverse pile!
Marina tried all the treatments and would not include them in this book if she did not feel each one had its merits. It is up to you to choose the one that you feel comfortable with. Doctors are quick to recommend drug induced treatments, often justly so, but for others it may be their last choice. So what are the three steps?
