Took the thoughts out of my head

This summed up my fertility journey for the past 4 years wow. It’s written well with just the right info to point someone on this path in the right direction.

I really wanted to like this one. I was totally on-board with the mind-body fertility connection idea - I completely buy stress reduction, yoga, meditation, acupuncture, etc. as ways to increase fertility. However the author kept making jabs against "traditional talk therapy" as "ineffective" to promoting fertility, with absolutely no data to back up his assertions. Then in the "action plan" at the end, he basically said "You'll never get pregnant if you run (or even jog), because the constant jostling with through your uterus out of alignment." Really? I'd like to see some data to back that up...and I think Kara Goucher and Paula Radcliffe (two recently pregnant Olympic marathoners) might disagree. I much preferred "Making Babies" over this book of pseudoscience.

The author had some useful information for those dealing with fertility issues and pointed out the importance of the emotional and subconcious factors as well. The book could have been much shorter as the author tended to repeat and repackage the same ideas in the various chapters.

Very helpful to understand the source of certain stressors, but still takes time to get rid of those stressors!
