He has also popularized the British technique of ovarian tissue freezing to preserve the female's fertility. He is the author of four medical textbooks, more than 180 scientific papers on human fertility and reproduction, and the bestseller How to Get Pregnant, and How to Get Pregnant with the New Technology.
