karma, and feel that by
helping you, I am helping myself ! )
Please fill in the following
details . This should take about 15 minutes. This is
basic medical information which every infertile couple
must know . While you don't have to fill in all the
information, please remember that the more the detail
you provide and the better the question you ask, the
better my answer will be ! If you don't understand any
of the terms, please read our free online book,
How to Have a Baby. You can also search
this site , which has over 300 pages of information !
If you cannot fill out this form, this means you need
to become better informed about your problem - please
review your medical records and talk to your doctor ! Keeping a
printout of the completed form will also help you talk
to your present doctor and get a second opinion from a
new doctor.
This form comes to me and I answer all my email
