How to avoid being fooled by infertility doctors
 |
Description
Book Introduction
“Why do we feel small when we stand in front of a doctor?”
This is probably a question that any infertile woman who has experienced in vitro fertilization (IVF) has asked at least once.
“How to Avoid Being Fooled by Infertility Doctors” starts from this very question.
Infertility treatment is something you endure physically, but ultimately it is a battle of the mind.
However, the more desperate the pregnancy is, the more likely the patient is to become someone who follows 'what the doctor tells them'.
Dozens of injections and complex procedures leave patients swallowing their questions, accepting prescriptions without explanation, and blaming themselves for their failures.
The author asks:
Were my eggs truly defective? Why didn't the embryo survive more than a few days? Was there any damage during the microfertilization process? However, many infertility clinics don't provide a clear answer to these questions.
Instead, we are left with short answers such as “age is the problem” and “egg quality is the problem.”
The patient is left feeling intimidated and heads to another procedure with unresolved questions.
However, this book is not intended to criticize infertility doctors and hospitals.
This book is also for infertility doctors, who can only explain pregnancy failures by citing factors like the patient's age and ovarian lesions. IVF procedures and outcomes, unlike those of other specialists, are an extraterritorial field, meaning their explanations are often vague, filled with jargon, or omitted entirely.
Infertility doctors must maintain their doctorlike qualities, and infertility patients must trust and rely on doctors like patients.
If you have any questions, you should be able to confidently ask for an explanation, and the doctor should do his best to explain to the patient and build confidence.
In the end, what matters is not finding a 'good doctor', but finding a 'doctor that's right for me'.
And it tells us that IVF can only be successful when you become 'one team' with that doctor.
This book divides the entire infertility treatment process into six chapters and points out the key points that patients must know, as follows:
Chapter 1: Choosing an Infertility Doctor: "Each doctor's personality and beliefs influence pregnancy success or failure." We explore doctor-patient compatibility, the pros and cons of university hospital treatment, and debunk the myth of a "best doctor."
Chapter 2: The World of Ultrasound: "80% of an infertility doctor's skill is determined by ultrasound examinations"? For infertility doctors, ultrasound is both a tool of vision and a strategic tool.
It explains the reality that differences in ultrasound interpretation can change results and how patients should understand ultrasound.
Chapter 3: Infertility Treatment and Procedures: Analyzes the different physicians' tendencies and strategies for each treatment method, including artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, natural cycle therapy, and egg retrieval skills.
Chapter 4: Reproductive Diseases: Discusses the differences in views among doctors regarding diseases of the uterus and ovaries, and the conflicting interpretations of diseases that hinder infertility.
Chapter 5: Culture Technology: Explores the role of culture researchers, the unsung heroes of IVF, the inconvenient truth about the latest assisted reproductive technologies, and the limitations of discarded embryos and culture technology.
Chapter 6: Pregnancy Success and Failure: Reveals essential information for patients, from the secrets of implantation and the causes of miscarriage to the reality of over-testing and over-prescription, and the inconvenient truth about pregnancy rate statistics.

Publisher's Review
The author wrote this book based on interviews with over 30 infertility doctors and cases obtained through online infertility cafes.
"How to Not Be Fooled by Infertility Doctors" ultimately tells us that finding a "doctor who is right for you" rather than a "good doctor" or a "reputable doctor" is the first step to IVF success.
We also advise couples considering IVF to not be swayed by doctors and to establish their own selection criteria during the uncertain journey.
This book is also for infertility doctors. The feeling of helplessness after multiple failed IVF attempts is indescribable.
Likewise, doctors also get tired of repetitive explanations and have a hard time making patients understand accurately.
This is understandable, as IVF procedures and results are an area like the 'extraterritoriality of human resources', where there cannot be intuitive results and conclusions like in other subjects.
Ultimately, infertile patients should be able to trust and rely on their doctors like patients and confidently ask for explanations when they have questions, while infertility doctors should maintain their doctor-like nature and do their best to explain things to patients, thereby building their patients' confidence.
The author argues that IVF can only be successful when doctors and patients become one team.
