This book would be great if you have never really thought about your fertility and suddenly wondered why you weren't getting pregnant. The authors try to "westernize" TCM and acupuncture information for American women that loses a lot of power in the translation.
It is full of great information like: eat right; relax; take vitamins; get lots of sleep. The book does have a nice massage and visualization section.

But for women with PCOS, this book has brief, outdated information about the condition that is quite misleading. But good luck.
Mar 12, Cheri rated it really liked it. I was surprised to discover that this most held very little new information for me. That must mean i'm current on my research. SD stresses throughout the book that the ART industry has evolved into profit making rather than patient healing. Many doctors aren't interested in treating the root of infertility or finding out why seemingly perfectly healthy couples struggle to conceive. Too bad I don't live anywhere near the doctors who would look outside the box.
I liked the diet, exercise and Chine I was surprised to discover that this most held very little new information for me. I liked the diet, exercise and Chinese medicine suggestions. I'm already on the road with diet and exercise parts. Not sure if I'll return to my acupuncturist. Apr 02, Rose Lindgren rated it liked it Shelves: non-fiction. Very educational, especially on the details of how to understand the female fertility cycle.
Feb 16, Natasha Rodgers rated it really liked it. However, I felt like the fertility typing and tailored pre-mester plans added some value to me. The bulk of the book can be summed up as: adopt a healthy lifestyle and see a TCM practitioner. Apr 19, Christine rated it it was ok. It was alright. Probably more helpful if you're just starting the trying to conceive journey and don't know anything about supplements, foods, lifestyle changes etc.
But once you've advanced to the support of a doctor you've probably already made those changes on your own. Jan 27, Kymberly rated it really liked it. Had some great suggestions but lingo was sometimes hard to follow because it was hard to follow the abbreviations. As well thought it was on repeat a little. Feb 28, Brooke Bateman rated it liked it.
Good information but also outdated. Jul 14, Meaghan Scott rated it it was amazing. It works. Mar 02, Chelsea rated it really liked it Shelves: non-fiction. This is a book for all people, both men and women, facing fertility issues. It focuses on the most natural ways of getting pregnant, but mentions medical assistance at the end of that is needed.
I enjoyed the fertility types and the RX for each. I was by far and away the tired type scored 41 while all the others scored less than And the funny thing is the RX all hit home to me. I love carbs, and spicy food, and staying warm, moderate exercise, etc.
All of those things make me feel my best This is a book for all people, both men and women, facing fertility issues. All of those things make me feel my best anyway. I also liked how it broke up the help with hormonal issues, structural issues, etc. And bonus! It incorporates the BBT chart, which is a huge help to pinpoint what is wrong.
I would recommend this book of this is what you need. The Chinese medicine part seemed a little weird to me, but I'm also not used to it at all. I would hesitate to get the herbs they talk about just because I know little about them and the side affects they bring. Dec 21, Gwendoline Van rated it really liked it.
This book explores natural solutions for baby-making--a great reminder that half of the battle is remembering to be kind and tuned in to ourselves. Stress, poor eating habits, too much on your plate, genital infections, etc. The authors stress that a lot of conventional fertility treatments are overly dependent on technology, and that half the time, it's simpler lifestyle remedies that better prepare couples for conception.
For instance, did you know t This book explores natural solutions for baby-making--a great reminder that half of the battle is remembering to be kind and tuned in to ourselves. For instance, did you know that the best position for getting pregnant is the missionary position? Or, that it's best to give the little swimmers help by stay lying down for 15 minutes or so afterwards. And, some women ovulate earlier or later in the month than expected, meaning they need to pay extra close attention to their own body's signals instead of what standard ovulation charts dictate.
We also have to prepare our bodies for pregnancy, which looks a lot like being pregnant: Limiting caffeine and alcohol. Reducing stress. Choosing healthful foods over processed foods. Really, this book is a reminder to be kind to ourselves and ot really listen to the cues our bodies give us.
The authors suggest that most couples, if they start paying attention to how they care for themselves and each other, will likely get pregnant within 3 to 6 months, maybe up to a year. For couples with known fertility issues, the authors recommend really knowing why you face such issues. Oftentimes, traditional fertility treatments ignore the reasons why, preferring, instead, to use technology to force biological ailments. The purpose of the book isn't to be anti-technology; it's to get down to the root causes to overcome come then, and when that isn't possible, inquire about the best ways for natural and allopathic remedies to work together.
The last portion of the book draws on Chinese medicine. It assigns a type to you and your partner. Your type dictates how your Chi flows through you, and by better understanding your personal energy, you can choose solutions and remedies to better prepare you for pregnancy. My husband and I realized we were both Stuck: Stuck types internalize their stress and falter during transitions.
Since they don't express stress easily, it gets carried out physically--nervous stomach, high blook pressure, tight muscles, tight digestion, etc. Feb 16, Lindsey rated it really liked it.
I was skeptical about the mix of western science and Chinese medicine, but following the advice laid out for my type definitely improved my overall reproductive health and put me on the path to baby. I do agree with some reviewers that you have to know yourself and adjust some of the suggestions accordingly diet suggestions come to mind , but if you're serious about trying to get pregnant, I'd hope you've already figured that out.
Aug 12, Liana rated it really liked it. This book is one of my wishlist since I am in TTC program. I finally finished this book yesterday. It really gives me an insight for doing the TTC program naturally without any help of Assisted Reproductive Technology. Some benefits that I get from this book is now I know my fertility type and how to treat it right to get pregnant.
The treatment includes the diet, exercise that I should do each phase menstruation, early ovulation, ovulation and implantation and how to reduce the stress. I am also diagnosed as having endometriosis. I should avoid red meat and salty dish including cheese also reduce dairy product and any food from soy tofu, edamame etc. The book also presents some advice how to reduce stress including self massage, doing yoga or taichi.
