Meet the Authors
Chantal and Ann decided to pen The Infertility Assistant while discussing the difficulties which face couples who have an infertility issue. They set out to create an easier way to both organize information and provide direction to couples preparing or in the midst of infertility treatment. They agreed that their ultimate goal was to create a tool for these couples to navigate the world of infertility treatment more easily and become active partners in the treatment process. Their hope is that The Infertility Assistant will help future infertility patients to avoid some of the potential pitfalls and stressors while improving the odds of a successful outcome.
