Hauser, a reproductive endocrinologist in Des Moines, Iowa, had been treating Bobbi for infertility, and the medication she'd prescribed had worked like a charm. Although it often takes repeated injections of ovulation-stimulating Metrodin to prime a woman's reluctant eggs for successful conception, Bobbi got pregnant on the first try.

Her best option would have been to accept a fresh egg from a donor. But she had agreed to this experimental procedure instead, on the condition that her privacy...
...largely on the reason a patient or couple is infertile. For Anita and Vincent Bielicki, both Chicago police officers, the problem was in Vincent's sperm. Before turning to more elaborate measures, the couple tried several courses of therapy, in which Anita took ovulation-stimulating drugs (a la Bobbi McCaughey) and fertilization was to occur inside the body...
