Where can I obtain more information?

There is a vast array of patient information leaflets covering all aspects of reproductive medicine. These are available from many sources including the RCOG Press (Royal College of Obstetricians and gynaecologists) in London, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, The Family Planning Association, pharmaceutical companies and a variety of support groups. Generally they are of a high standard reflecting the time, care and effort spent in their production. There are three disadvantages to be found with some of these leaflets: firstly, there is inevitably variation at least in emphasis if not necessarily in content between mass-produced leaflets and the way that individual doctors provide information: secondly, they are frequently out-of-date. Finally, the treatments discussed in the leaflet may not reflect those available locally.
