Rating:  Summary: A true inspiration... Review: I was feeling both frustrated and helpless about my fertility. Luckily, I found this book and it helped to turn me around. It was so gratifying to read about someone else's personal experiences and success! Once I started reading, I couldn't stop- Julia Indichova's writing style is direct and personal. She has a sense of humor amid all of the negativity she encounters- and that is a true inspiration. I was so inspired by her exploration of holistic processes that I decided to change my approach and implement some of the ideas she discusses. I started feeling more positive and empowered and decided to take a workshop with Julia. That really helped to solidify my trust in myself as an expert about my body and my fertility. I am so grateful to have found this book when I did, I really needed a boost and a sense of possibility again. I found a renewed sense of spirit and adventure while reading Inconceivable. This book is, by far, the most engaging book about fertility that I have encountered and I highly recommend it!
Rating:  Summary: I found empathy here Review: I've read some of the other reviews of this book and had to comment. Yes, the author already had a child, and yes, she did have another, I'll put it out there that I was not looking for another Pollyana fertility book either. I'm still in the middle of my anger, frustration, envy...so I understand some of the other reivews.
But I did love this book, because it chronicled the journey. Most fertility books set out a roadmap: "Do this and this and this and you'll get pregnant." (no comment!) This author didn't make promises, just shared her experience. She too went through frustration, got conflicting information, and felt the pressure of "trying everything no matter how crazy it sounds" cures. The indigity of dealing with coldhearted medical doctors, odd feelings about alternative treatments, and so on. It helped me to know I'm not the only one who has felt that way. I laughed and cried with this book. If you think of it like a support group in a book, rather than a guide to having a baby, I think you'll get a lot out of it. I'm glad this author chose to share her experience, because it's much more personal than most books on the subject. I may never get as far as she did, but at least I know I wasn't alone on the road we were travelling. I did find a lot of strength in this book. I'm also sharing it with my family members who don't seem to have a clue what we're going through. (The ones dispensing the "just relax" and "take a vacation" advice...)
Rating:  Summary: A Godsend! It worked for me! Review: I?m three months pregnant today (at age 43) and I have this book to thank for giving me hope when everyone around me said ?most unlikely.? To begin with Julia Indichova not only gave me an enormous amount of specific information about how to proceed in the face of all the negativity, the book is so beautifully written, that reading it was for me a transforming experience. I cried and laughed and I read it over and over again especially when I felt discouraged. Of course her pregnancy was a miracle! Every pregnancy is a miracle, but Julia shows the reader who is willing to open her eyes that we can do something to help create miracles in our lives!!! What a lesson that is!!! Bless you, Julia!!!
Rating:  Summary: Unbelievable Review: Inconceivable is unbelievable. Offering hope to anyone, any age, trying to have a baby. It's smart, funny and inspiring. Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
Rating:  Summary: we can do it too. Review: julia indichova and her wonder book are a big inspiration to me, i felt that i can conceive on my own despite the doctor's words "you can't" and after I read the book Iknew we have to trust our instincts than the doctors "NO". We have to trust our body, follow our souls, heal our body and soul, work with our body and soul and be at peace. Then we shall overcome all odds and have our wonder. She DID IT and WE CAN DO IT TOO. Thank you for the inspiration Julia and God Bless You.
Rating:  Summary: Exceptional!!!!!!!!!! Review: Julia Indichova has written a book that is as much about empowerment as anything else. The fertility maze can be overwhelming, discouraging and terrifying. But Inconceivable reminds us all that our health and yes, our fertility is aas much in our hands as the "experts". There is no magic formula or exact equation here. Instead, there is a roadmap; one that promises a sense of self, a real path to health and ultimately a knowlege that your fertility is available. Julia had every version of "no" and "you can't" thrown at her by the "experts". With hard work and a dedication to what she knew was possible she conceived and bore her daughter. This book is so well writen , so deeply felt and so ultimately true. Do yourself a favor and read it!
Rating:  Summary: Understanding Inconceivable Review: Julia's book is a fantastic, inspiring and empowering journey. If you have also been lucky enough to do her workshops or support group, you will find a woman who is dedicated to facilitating every woman's journey to the child for which she longs. But, there are no magic recipes, and perhaps that was disappointing to some readers. I found it otherwise. I like that she does not say "drink this _______ and you will get pregnant". Instead, Julia teaches you to listen to and love your body, prepare it to receive the best and most appropriate treatment for your issues. She teaches personal empowerment, something that counters the helplessness in the fertility maze. It is work, personal work. It is hard, but it yields a result that is far far greater than you will believe. Buy, the book. Go to Julia's website and get her imagery tapes, and start your journey. You will NOT be disappointed.
Rating:  Summary: Also remarkable Review: Julia's book was very well written, entertaining and poignant. It reaches above and beyond infertility and into the general art of healing. She showed that getting well doesn't begin and end with western medicine. I was touched by her chapters on soul searching, which illustrates that when it comes to wellness, every part of our life counts.
Rating:  Summary: Incredibly Valuable Review: So much of the "infertility" world is about the medical profession preaching at you and not empowering you. What Julia Indichova teaches is so wonderful and valuable. She is a godsend in a maze that is terrifying and often energy draining. Julia teaches a personal discovery that enhances any treatments you choose along the way. It is also about the miracle that is a baby. A miracle that is possible to each woman, in many different ways. Julia's techniques and teachings are inspiring, valuable and ultimately comforting. It is not an easy answer or foolproof equation. It is a light in the dark maze of infertility, and it is about finding your own way. The work is powerful. Nutrition advice , imagery, dreamwork, notes on various infertility treatments and much much more! Her group and webiste are equally powerful and I encourage anyone struggling with this journey to buy this book. If you do and you do the work, you will gain so many beautiful and miraculous things in your life. Julia Indichova is someone who is devoting her life to teaching a way of life that encourages health, centered and informed decision making and a strength in knowing what is right for your body. An environment that is ideal for a baby.
Rating:  Summary: A Success Story Review: The title of this book hit home and I tried everything else, so I bought the book and followed the recommendations as best as I could. A few months after I started, I did an insemination, went to the doctor (who originally felt my chances of getting pregnant were slim to none) and found out I was already 8 weeks pregnant! (What I thought was my period the month before was apparently blood from the embryo attaching to my uterine lining.) My doctor, who still couldn't believe it, recalled all my bloodwork from the month to retest, called me in for a sonogram the next day and, lo and behold, found and embryo with a beating heart. This doctor (one of the most respected in the business) said he'd never seen anything happen like this. I'm 42, have had 5 miscarriages and, as I've said, had a pathetic prognosis. The doctor said he'd be talking about my situation in his lectures and writings and he'd be sure not to mention my name. I now have a 7 month old girl who is a joy every second of everyday. I know how tough trying to have a baby can be when EVERYONE is telling you to pack it in, but believe me, if the advice in this book can work for someone like me, it can work for you too.
