Inconceivable : A Woman's Triumph over Despair and Statistics

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: This is a wonderful book that seamlessly combines an inspiring personal story with detailed, practical advice on conceiving and living a healthier life in general. I am ordering my third copy because I have given this book away twice! Through the author's experience, the reader learns about diet, exercise, stress, health supplements, and medical treatments, and how all of these relate to fertility as well as overall quality of life. Great for older women trying to conceive, but I am young and read this book while I was trying to conceive (with no infertility problems) and found it entertaining and helpful. A sensitive, useful book!

Summary: Inspiring, but exhausting
Review: While I found this book inspiring in that it promotes the philosophy you know your body better than the best specialists, it was also exhausting. I commend the author on her unyielding strength and search, but the book focuses mostly on all the remedies she tried, when in the end her miracle child was conceived in what doctors considered an "infertile" month. It is more conceivable to believe her child was a miracle, not necessarily a result of the efforts this book showcases.
