CHR's Handbook for Infertility Patients was designed with your needs in mind, to educate you about infertility and to encourage you to participate in your treatment. It is comprised of several sections. Some are relevant to all patients while others detail specific tests, procedures, or treatments. Take the Handbook to consultations with your physician and use the forms to keep accurate records and take notes. Look at the "Coping with Infertility" section; it addresses emotional and social issues commonly faced by infertile couples and includes many practical suggestions. Browse the "Suggested Reading" section for books on a variety of topics related to infertility.

We recognize that infertility treatment can be physically and emotionally demanding. Our physicians and staff members will make every attempt to answer your questions, address your concerns, and make your experience at The Center for Human Reproduction a positive one.

Our handbook is available here online but of course we will give you a handbook upon request at any of our Office Locations.
