The Roadmap to Fertility is a comprehensive, wide-ranging look at fertility. From the very basics through to the complex, it takes the reader on a journey that will clearly inform them of the facts and real solutions. Getting pregnant is not easy for many couples – infertility affects one in six couples worldwide. Dr David Greening REI, who is a subspecialist in obstetrics and gynaecology, has written The Roadmap to Fertility specifically for men. He believes men are often quiet passengers as a couple drive their own lonely road to fertility, despite being a vital part of the partnership. Dr Greening explores the issues around getting pregnant and explains how to improve both partners' fertility. Dr Greening includes real-life stories of couples' journeys dealing with infertility, in their own words, and explores his own experiences from many years working in the reproductive medicine field in Europe and Australia.
