Summary: Some good info, some outdated info
Review: Let me begin by saying that the first book anyone should read if they are trying to conceive is Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Wechsler. This book has some good information and recommendations. I tried to conceive for 2 years. I began taking evening primrose oil daily after reading this book. About 6 months later, I discovered the website tryingtoconceive.com and learned that evening primrose oil should only be taken prior to ovulation because it can cause uterine contractions and interfere with the implantation of an egg. After discontinuing the EPO from ovulation to menstruation, I conceived within 3 months. So, I guess you could say, had I NOT read this book, I may have been pregnant sooner.

Summary: Good NFP info when healthy people are trying to conceive
Review: This book does a good job of explaining how to use the methods of natural family planning (NFP) with the goal of conceiving. I had taken a NFP course before I was married to learn how to prevent conception, and this book took that knowledge and helped me learn how to apply it to trying to conceive. I would agree with other comments that it is not for those who are having great difficulty conceiving and are facing infertility issues. I was not looking for information about herbs or alternative therapies, so I cannot comment on those sections of the book. This is great for those wanting details about the physiology of conception.

Summary: An alternatve guide to acheiving pregnancy without drugs.
Review: This book in combination with Toni Weschler's "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" I gained knowledge of my body and what might jump start my hormonal problems. We have been trying unsucessfully to get pregnant for 1 year, and today I found out we're pregnant. I used an herbal remedy in regulating female hormones and 2 days later my body responded. I was due for a dose of Clomid to do the same thing I achieved on my own. I recommend these books to anyone seeking knowledge about ther bodies, and help achieving pregnancy.

Summary: Where is the proof?
Review: This book is for people who do not have infertility issues. It does not address any real actions for people with proven infertility. It is a waste of time for the infertile reader.

Summary: I don't recomend this book
Review: This book is OK for someone who doesn't know her menstual cycle, has never monitored BBT or cervical mucus, has never tried ovulation predictor kit... I mean, WHO HAS NOT STARTED TRYING YET. Otherwise, you won't find anything new here. This book introduce many herbs to boost your fertility.
But NATURAL doesn't mean harmless.
Each herb is explained like "estrogen promoting" "Progesteron promoting" but it doesn't tell you WHEN of your cycle you should take it.
Don't guinea-pig your fertility.

Summary: Informative but too general
Review: This book provides general information. If you need an overwiew of what alternatives are available this book is for you. It does not give detail on when in your cycle you are supposed to use which herb etc., which is what I was looking for.
Rating:
Summary: This is a good books for those who want different choices.
Review: We've read this book and it gave us information that our western Dr. didn't. We've never really used "natural" medicine before. This book helped us to realized the things that we were doing that was helping us to not conceive our so wanted baby. This book gave us Chinese alternatives to fertility drugs.
