USER REVIEWS
"This book is fantastic for anyone who wants to get pregnant fast, for those over 35 and/ or for those having trouble trying to become pregnant. I read only the chapters that I felt were relevant for us within the week after we purchased the book, I was 38 at the time, and we became pregnant the first month we tried. The book was very informative, especially regarding change in diet and personal care products that contain harmful or products that may hinder infertility.
However, this book is not good for people who get overwhelmed by information easily. If you are not the type who researches everything, including the medication your doctor prescibes to you before purchasing it, then you may want to buy a different book. If you hunger for information, then you will love this book.
I am now purchasing a second book since we lent ours to a friend and didn't get it back. We have been trying to get pregnant with a second child for the past 5 months and have not been successful. Besides being 2 years older, we are dealing with different circumstances, so I want to refresh my memory on what we did last time and read a couple of chapters we skipped last time. I do recall that the author stated that once you turn 40, every month is critical with fertility decreasing more rapidly as hormone levels become more irratic. So I hope this book can help us the second time around as well."

"I recently had a miscarriage, and will be following the protocols in this book to prevent another one. This is my second miscarriage, so I wholeheartedly want to prevent another one.
While the information may scare women who have never had a miscarriage, I feel this book is full of helpful information for those who want to have the healthiest pregnancy possible.
While we all know women who have smoked, drank and used drugs while pregnant, the vast majority of us cannot carry a healthy baby to term under those conditions without birth defects or learning issues.
This book does not use scare tactics, but helpful hints on how to protect and rejuvenate your fertility.
Ideas for a healthy pre-baby body are:
*getting in shape ~ calculate your perfect fertility weight
*nutrition ideas before and during your pregnancy
*ways to eliminate potential toxins and environmental pollution
*fertility boosters for males and females
There is also information on fertility treatments, IF it comes to that.
I think it is an excellent book for all parents to be..."

"I have not been able to put this book down since I got it!! It has so many answers to so many questions that were in the back of my head.......I am currently trying to get pregnant and this book has become very helpful.
Details in here are great!
This book tells you about the conception process and talks about the female repoductive system and male organs!!
My doctor discussed with me a few other options if I should continue to have a problem conceiving ....... this book explains the options that my doctor talked about. It goes over pros and cons about all kinds of diagnosis and treatments Women AND Men!!
This book is probably the best book I have read thus far about trying to conceive!!!!
I plan on buying this book for a friend who is much older than me. I know she will find this helpful in many ways!!
Every dollar well spent on this book!!

"It was a quick read for me. Prefect for a beginner. Mind you it has A LOT OF INFO about infertility and miscarriages. For me, I am just beginning and not needing all of that info at this time. But it has info for diet, and tells you just what to do to figure out how to get pregnant. It also tell what the man needs to do to get ready as well. I liked it. Buy it used if you can otherwise its totally worth the price listed in order to get free shipping."

"Although I only finished half of this book, I felt that for my siutation it was not appropriate. I had been trying to conceive for about 10 months when I started reading this book and about half way through decided to stop reading it because I started getting very stressed out over ALL of the things that I needed to "change"....It goes as far to say that even your clock radio could be affecting your fertility....are you kidding me?!?!?!?!? I just found it very inappropriate for someone who has been trying to get pregnant and is still in that 1 year time frame that is so often talked about. Unless you know that you have fertility issues and want to know some other options or treatments for your condition then I suggest that you do not read this book."
