Summary: a treasure for anyone dealing with infertility
Review: This book brought me full circle in my journey to become pregnant. It is the ideal complement to the many books out there that deal with the more clinical aspects of infertility and is a true inspiration for those who have given up hope. More importantly, its impact extends far beyond the quest to become pregnant; it serves as a enriched template for living. Read it and be changed - I am now 6 months pregnant with twin boys!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful book for anyone struggling with infertility.
Review: This book changed my perspective about my ability to conceive. Ms. Indichova shares her unique experiences and gives hope to anyone who has had to deal with the often myopic and discouraging world of reproductive medicine. After reading "Inconceivable" I became more aware of my body and ways to naturally increase my fertility. I never felt better than when I was trying to get pregnant naturally! I now have a 4 month old son (conceived naturally), and couldn't be more thrilled. This book started me on my journey to motherhood, and I highly recommend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Patients" of all kinds need to read this book
Review: This book fell into my lap at an opportune time. Several lactation consultants and I had recently been discussing arrogant, "fertility experts" who were cruel to their patients, badgered them, reduced them to tears with every visit, forbade them to see lactation consultants- but yet, parents were grateful because the "expert had given them their baby"! Egads! Parents, parent hopefuls and everyone- stand up for your rights and don't let the specialists own you!

I am also on a personal journey toward greater health through yoga, Nia and improved diet, (but not quite back to the heyday of my vegetarian days). My aches and pains have decreased and my energy levels improved. Julia just reinforced what I already knew but was having a hard time putting into practice.

Julia had to write this book. Anyone with health issues would be well advised to read it. People need to learn to be responsible for themselves. Doctors need to understand that they are human too, and can have a profound impact on their patients, beyond the obvious. Julia won't tell you how to improve your fertility. She will tell you what she did and what she learned along the way, and help you find the beginning of your own work. That is much more valuable than a guidebook because you need to own your health.

This is a very quick read. I read it in mostly one night- I was hooked. I wanted to find out more about how she was helping herself. I knew she would end up pregnant and I was eager to learn what she and her husband did- I hoped for an unassisted pregnancy.

I would have liked to hear just a tiny bit about her birth and babymoon with her new daughter. Culturally we need to hear more about breastfeeding, especially following infertility.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: optimistic!
Review: This book gives hope to all couples who have been told by doctors that they have no more options. She has shown infertile couples to never give up and take their fertility into their own hands. Not only does she give her own personal story, but she also has stories of triumph from 7 other women. It is enlightening and makes a woman feel like she does have control over her body.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: How are you CHILDLESS???
Review: This book is a flop, the woman has had a child. So, she can't possibly feel the pain of a woman who screams and cries out to God, "Why?! Why can't I have a child, Father?! You know I would be a good mother...probably better than most. Please God, I am on my knees begging for you to answer this yearning desire, this pleading prayer for a child! Father, are you listening?"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thank You, Ms. Indichova!!
Review: This book is terrible. While she discusses some excellent topics like diet, relaxation and taking control of your own health, it's at a 50,000 foot level, there is no real factual information whatsoever. And unless you have endless time and money to pursue treatments you are not going to be able to follow in her footsteps. Save your money ladies!

Summary: Extraordinary and honest
Review: This is a beautiful book. In a powerful and yet gentle way, it has changed my life. I read it in it entirety the evening I purchased it and have reread portions many times. This is not a how-to book with a strict regiment to follow. Instead it is one woman's heartfelt story of the pain of infertility and her personal quest to find answers and solutions beyond the fertility clinics. Julia tells her story with remarkable honesty and feeling. I strongly recommend it to anyone willing to use the book as an inspired guideline with which to begin their own journey towards enhanced fertility and overall well being.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book changed my and my husband's life
Review: This is a beautifully written and powerful book. I never could have imagined the impact this book would have on my family's life. I already had one child through IVF (after six years of trying because of my husband's undiagnosed fertility problems) when I came across this book. I wanted to have another child and hoped to do so naturally. The book had a profound impact on my thinking and my lifestyle. Julia's book, as well as her courses, also had an unexpected effect on my husband. He was so moved by Julia's story he made major changes in his diet and became open to alternative health. While we did see major improvments in our general health and well-being we did decide to try IVF again. While I was 42 at the time and did not receive very optimistic statistics for success, it worked the first time. I attribute my healthful and uncomplicated pregnancy and natural delivery to Julia's approach. The book, which I just reread, is by no means pro-ART. However, I was able to use the approach to become mentally and physically prepared to do IVF. Julia's courses and her web site are more integrative in nature--combining alternative tools with ART for the best possible outcome. You owe it to yourself to check out this book, her web site and courses.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Looking for inspiration, look no further!
Review: This is a must read for anyone who is trying to conceive and is in need for some inspiration and comfort. This book called out to me in the bookstore and I am glad I took it home with me. Quick read! I laughed, I cried...I also gained a new understanding of the power that women hold within themselves. Julia's book motivated me in ways I cannot explain. Coming from someone struggling with the anxiety and reality of infertility, I have to say that this book gave me new hope and optimism.
