This text is for the many couples who want to enhance their fertility, but who only want to use IVF or GIFT treatment in the last resort. There are also some people, such as Roman Catholics, for whom these treatments are not an option at all. This guide explains why some couples have difficulty conceiving and looks at causes of subfertility, both medical and environmental. It provides strategies for enhancing fertility, from learning how to recognize when you are ovulating to the importance of diet and exercise. The book also covers complementary therapies and what they can do.
