Book addresses both "how to" and infertility issues, January 12, 2002
by Donna C
After reading the other reviews, I can see how some reviewers didn't feel this book was for them. It does focus a lot on infertility treatment. I bought the book because my doctor suspected that I might have difficulties either getting pregnant or staying pregnant. But, I also couldn't remember all the advice my doc gave me on what days were my most fertile. I found this book and it covered everything I wanted to know, including: why I might have trouble conceiving/staying pregnant; what types of treatment are available; how to tell when you are ovulating; and the proper timing to ensure optimum chances of conception. I got pregant (naturally) the month after I bought this book and I know exactly when I conceived. I personally enjoyed reading about the infertility challenges and treatments. But I can understand how some people who don't have those concerns would prefer to have a book focused strictly on "how to" make a baby without using medical intervention. So, I'd recommend this book for those who are trying to conceive the old-fashioned way, but who may have infertility issues and want to understand those issues and how they can be treated.

Vague and general, January 16, 2005
by boxfordshire
We were looking for scientific, comprehensive information about fertility and conception. We found this book to be vague and general, which is OK if you need some background on general infertility or fertility issues. If you want a much more specific "how-to" on identifying fertile days, knowledge of fertility signs, and how to make detailed charts that will be useful for you and your doctor, then we very strongly recommend Toni Weschler's "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" instead.

Excellent & comprehensive resource--Natural therapies ..., March 31, 2002
by
Superb book on the problems leading to infertility and what can be done to resolve these. The section on Male Infertility was enlightening--and a must-read for all couples struggling to have a baby. So often we look at the woman when conception does not occur--and half the time it's a "male" problem. Get it checked out--because there is treatment, according to these authors. I was most impressed with the natural therapies sections in the book--and the part on reducing stress was most helpful for me and my wife.

Great book, but make sure you know what it you're buying, November 22, 2006
by Elizabeth J. Busch
I was under the impression that this was a book for all couples wanting information on conceiving. It is actually more focused on infertility and oververcoming/dealing with infertility. There are some helpful chapters on BBT charting and drug-free ways to improve your conception chances (which is more what I was looking for), but as I mentioned beofre the primary focus is on infertile couples.

Buy this book if you have trouble getting pregnant, February 16, 2004
by
Out of all the infertility books, this is the only one that gave us hope that we would have a child and helped us to understand why women over 35 have difficulty conceiving. Luckily, we now have a precious daughter (age 5 months)--but three years ago, it seemed like we'd never have a family. All the emotions we felt are described in this book and the stress reduction exercises helped both of us when we had to wait for test results. It's so easy to blame the other spouse, but we learned to deal with those feelings so we didn't add to our marriage stress.
The book is written in a friendly style and makes you feel like you're NOT ALONE! Anyway--it helped us so much. We recommend to all our friends who are now starting to plan a family.
