Summary: Don't try to deal with fertility issues w/o this book!
Review: I am pregnant! 17 weeks. Via IVF. My second attempt. My first attempt after reading Inconceivable. Julia's book gave me a sense of power and direction to approach the situation my way. It rekindled my energy at a very bleak time. It gave me a sense of control when I felt like I had not control. I highly highly highly recommend this book.

Summary: Not much to learn here, if you suffer from IF
Review: I bought this book because it had been recommended to me by no fewer than a dozen women who also suffer from high FSH and a concomitant diagnosis of infertility. I was incredibly disappointed. This is nothing more than the story of a woman who adopted the common mentality of "all IF doctors are jerks and don't want to help you" and embarked on a new age adventure in hocus pocus. Yes, some of the ideas in here are valid (healthy eating habits, working through depression with yoga and other exercise techniques), but there's no definitive lesson here for IF sufferers. Worse, it sends the message that all Western medicine is bad, and all Eastern medicine is good. And that the answers to IF can be found in your local Whole Foods market. There's never any acknowledgment that a combination of approaches can be undertaken with success--leaving the impression that all Western medicine should be abandoned and that one should contact the local witch doctor (which this author did). That's bad advice, and unfortunately, too many women are taking it. I'm glad Ms. Indichova got lucky and had her baby. It does give me hope. But I am not persuaded at all that her regimen is to be credited. Some women just beat the odds--and maybe that's what happened here. A simple nod to this possibility would have been appreciated. That's not what we get. This book leads IF sufferers to believe that the answer lies in witch doctors, accupuncture, yoga, high colonics, wheatgrass shots, strange fruit concoctions, positive imagery, accupressure and daily visits to your local organic grocer--and ignorance of any and all Western treatments. Unfortunately, while those approaches may help a patient deal with the emotional, and some physical, aspects of IF, there's no evidence whatsoever that they work. Ms. Indichova does IF sufferers a disservice by not presenting a more balanced case.

Summary: This Book Helped me Heal Severe Digestive Problems
Review: I came upon Julia's book when I was dealing with severe digestive problems while trying to conceive. While traditional doctors were pushing me to use injectable drugs, Julia helped me realize that I need to regain my health before trying to conceive. I followed her juicing instructions and got myself a juicer. The green juices did what two former surgeries had failed to do. Cutting diary, coffee and white flour helped me to lose weight and become more energetic. I also joined a yoga class and my body feels more ready for a pregnancy. I feel stronger. I used to be very angry at my body for not being able to conceive. Julia's work has made that anger go away. Now I feel great about myself. I also try to do imagery exercises.
Julia's book was truly an inspiration to me. I don't want to use injectable drugs. My strategy is to do everything I can to get a healthy body and then leave it in God's hands.
Julia has given me all the tools I need!

Summary: My favorite "cheerleader" book... and so much more than that
Review: I discovered this book after three miscarriages. I was 39, and feeling hopeless..I had been through the mill of "conventional medicine" many times over, being a physician myself. This book is like a breath of fresh air. It has changed the direction of all my effort. It motivated me to improve my diet, and learn Yoga. I read and reread this book over and over. I laugh with it, and sometimes cry... I even travel with it. Now that I am pregnant again, I am trying the "imagery" exercises
Julia recommends. Thank you Julia, for showing so many of us a different way, just when we thought we had reached the end of the road.

Summary: Enjoyed this book
Review: I enjoyed this book. I found it very inspiring and encouraging. I loved reading the stories at the end of it. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is feeling a bit discouraged and needs
a pic- me-up. I am 6 weeks pregnant and got pregnant after reading this book through my third artificial insemination/chlomid combo, perhaps I relaxed a bit. Thank you Julia for writing this book. Another book that I recently found very relaxing is a book about living in the moment, it's called Working on Yourself Doesn't Work by Ariel and Shya Kane.

Summary: What a powerful book!
Review: I finished reading Inconceivable 2 weeks ago and I am amazed of the changes I have made in my life ever since: changing my eating habits, taking better care of myself and open my mind up to explore other options to treat my infertility. This book has been a real inspiration to me and gave me a lot of hope and confidence in myself and my body. I am about to read it for the second time. It is a great book and I'd highly recommend it to anyone trying to conceive. More books like this should be written. It is a very powerful book.

Summary: What a powerful book!!!
Review: I finished reading this book 2 weeks ago, and it is unbelievable the changes I have made in my life in such a short time.
I've been able to focus more in taking a better care of myself (physically and emotionally), changing my eating habits, relaxing, making conection with my body, and at the same time looking at other alternatives to try to conceive for the first time. Julia's story is very inspiring and gave me a lot of hope. The information she is sharing is tremendously helpful for any woman trying to conceive. We need more books like that. It is very powerful! Thank you.

Summary: An incredible book
Review: I happened to stumble upon this book in the book store and so after trying for one year I bought the book. There's so many books out there all saying the same thing: get these tests, do this, chart this, here's what can help. What I really needed was a story of a women's journey with a success at the end. And I truly believe in the mind-body connection and had been sort of out of touch with that having been caught up in the "trying to conceive journey" It was an incredible, eye opening book. Thanks Julia!!

Summary: A Key for Infertile couples
Review: I read this book after struggling with infertility for several years. The message of encouragement to find my own voice in this very personal journey was one I needed to hear after nothing but negatives from the medical community. I gained tremendous hope and camaraderie from this book, hope that kept me moving forward to act and/or to accept what was before me. Within a year after reading the book, and using the accompanying meditation CDs, I conceived, against all the same odds as the writer. Even the doctors were stunned. I highly recommend.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: I was able to relate to Julia completely! This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to achieve, not just a pregnancy, but ANYTHING! She inspired me to 1) take a closer look at the "garbage" I feed myself and to prepare my body as a clean & healthy home for my future baby. 2) to believe in myself when pursuing my goals, to use my own common sense, and not to hold so much weight in what my doctors tell me. I recommend this book to anyone who is undergoing the stresses of infertility. It is excellent. Thank you, Julia, for sharing your story.
