Whether you are young and fertile, over 40 and having trouble conceiving, or anywhere in between, here is the best resource to help you get pregnant.
The only must-have fertility book, Getting Pregnant, completely revised and updated, not only addresses the needs of those who cannot conceive but serves as the ultimate guide for anyone planning to have a baby, now or in the future. Addressing the newest, state-of-the-art medical treatments for infertility, Getting Pregnant gives you all the latest news on:
- eight brand-new fertility drugs
- donor eggs and donor sperm
- a new 15-minute in-office surgery that can double conception odds
- breakthrough technologies for preventing chronic miscarriage
- how both sex and lifestyle factors affect fertility, including the "Nine to Five" guide for protecting your reproductive health on the job
Getting Pregnant also provides a wealth of practical information about the exercises, foods, and supplements that encourage a faster, healthier conception, as well as brand-new, all-natural techniques that influence the gender of your child. You'll also find a helpful six-month personal pregnancy planner that addresses all of your pre-conception health and medical needs.
Don't miss the new chapters that focus on protecting, increasing, and extending fertility, while new frontiers in both the treatment of male fertility and the science of motherhood are explored.

paranoia anyone?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting Pregnant: What Couples Need To Know Right Now (Paperback)
There is some good info here, no doubt. Especially the information about IVF/GIFT. However, I wound up feeling more scared than anything else. The author presents a myriad of possible things that could currently be wrong or could go wrong. He suggests that the radiation from a TV set could render one infertile. That seems a bit over the top to me. He also suggests writing the company that makes your computer monitor to see how much radiation it emits. There are also a bunch of other bizarre suggestions that seem more hurtful than helpful. I would avoid this unless you feel you are up for hearing a lot of cautionary messages about why you may not be able to conceive. I read this and thought, "It's a wonder ANYONE gets pregnant!" If you are looking for a more empowering pregnancy book I would suggest "Taking Charge of Your Fertility."

Not sure I trust the advise!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting Pregnant: What Couples Need To Know Right Now (Paperback)
Don't know if I would trust this guy's advice after reading the New York Magazine article about him. I found the book very disjointed, and some of the suggestions are just ridiculous.

I thought I was being overly sensitive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting Pregnant: What Couples Need To Know Right Now (Paperback)
I thought I was being overly sensitive until I read that another reader was not overjoyed with the tone of this book. At least I am not alone.
