Phillips is a CNN correspondent who integrates her experience with IVF (in vitro fertilization) into this resource for women concerned about their fertility. Grifo is the director of the respected New York University Fertility Center. In Part 1 of their book, the authors focus on preserving one's fertility. The chapters in this section cover factors that could affect fertility such as chemicals, diet, medications, and weight. Part 2 concentrates on infertility and the latest treatments for it. Other segments address fertility myths and male infertility. The book also lists trusted websites and information about hair straighteners that have a high amount of formaldehyde. Both of the authors provide personal and professional commentary and humor within the chapters, making the text accessible. Readers who want a more comprehensive work should keep an eye out for Toni Weschler's Taking Charge of Your Fertility, 20th Anniversary Edition due out this summer.
