Own Your Fertility - From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy, How to Take Charge of Your Body and Your Future

Dr. Jaime Knopman doesn't pull any punches when it comes to fertility. Women are born with all the eggs they'll ever have. Those eggs will die off or become less viable as they age, making it more difficult to conceive. That's the reality but Knopman also reassures her patients that advances in science have changed the reproductive landscape for both younger women with healthy eggs and older women who may be struggling with infertility. She has helped countless women explore the options available to them and make a fertility plan that gives them the power and freedom to structure their lives accordingly. Here is a much-needed source of information on egg freezing, embryo freezing, IVF and more. Informed by the author's more than 20 years of experience with patients, Own Your Fertility brings together the science and the data readers need to help them make intentional, proactive decisions about their bodies and their futures.
