This book has a large amount of information about alternative healing but it doesn't present it in a weird new agey way. It is presented factually in a manner that is easy to read.

I actually live in Houston so I checked out the clinic the author started. I was disappointed to learn she no longer treats people who cannot afford one of her $5000 K workshops. Only her partners still see patients there.

However, for those not in Houston this book is helpful. The only caveat I would give is that she touts that TCM is so much less expensive than conventional infertility treatments. I found this wasn't exactly the case. At $60 per acupuncture treatment and then $30 per week for each herb prescribed (prescribed 4) the costs add up quickly.

The herbs did help me ovulate without the assistance of other drugs and I plan to use it to complement my future ART procedures.

Originally I was lent this book by a fellow infertile lady. It became my constant companion so I felt duty-bound to purchase my own copy. Randine Lewis writes about a complex and to me, new and unknown topic, with absolute clarity. Her training as a 'western' medical doctor, combined with her personal experiences of infertility convinced me that Traditional Chinese Medicine was something that I must try. I am only 33 but for reasons unexplainable by western medicine seem to have a problem with egg fertilisation. My western doctors feel there is little left they can do. Randine Lewis showed me that there was still a road I had not tried. HAving read her book I sought out a TCM practitioner who is now treating me and feels positive that he can help me conceive naturally! A fascinating subject that should be read by every woman suffering from infertility. Often, Assisited Reproductive Technologies are not even needed if you pursue this path.

The book makes sooo much sense. TCM is different from the traditional medicine we grow up around in the US but this book explains TCM so simply. I've had no problems understanding it. After three miscarriages and currently 41, it has given me the hope and energy to try again. I have an appointment with an acupuncturist in 4 days and can't wait to start this treatment that has helped so many others.

After 6 years, this book made the difference. I just have to share this with anyone and everyone who is trying to conceive and having difficulty. I think it's important you know my fertility background.

I am now 35 years old, about 178lbs now, my husband is 36 and we have been TTC for 6 years and 2 months. About 16 months in, I decided to quit a very stressful job (which I believed was a major factor in my inability to conceive) and we conceived but I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. I was beyond devastated. To try for so long only to lose our first hope was crushing. I went back to work at a less stressful job about 8 months later.

We did all of the standard testing, some multiple times, over the years. I had an HSG to see if my tubes were blocked. My husband's sperm was tested. I went to an endocrinologist who said I was borderline PCOS (with no cysts). So I tried Metformin. We tried several natural methods like the Creighton Model System with which you chart your cervical mucus to track your most fertile times, etc. I also went to a naturalist who helped me with anxiety with Adrenal Stress End (a miracle supplement!), but the Progesterone cream and Chasteberry herbs he suggested did not help me conceive. I even moved my bedroom around and of course we tried every position and I even tried standing on my head! Hey, when you're desperate, you'll do anything! We were diagnosed with Unexplained Infertility. The only diagnostic thing I did not do was a laparoscopy.

Well, that was about the worst thing to me. If nothing was wrong, and so there's nothing to fix, what do you do next? I really didn't want to try Clomid or ART. I wanted to become pregnant naturally if possible. I was afraid of the side effects of Clomid and the expense and toll ART would take on my mind and my body. But finally in Oct. '06 I felt like we had no choice but to start trying something else, so I took Letrozole (like Clomid) for 3 months. I had the worst possible experience with it. I had every side effect including panic attacks and no baby. By Dec. I decided that was enough. My job had become more stressful and after so long without conceiving I had a discussion with my husband about putting trying for a family first. I quit my job again and worked hard on eating better and losing some weight. Also reading and meditating and really trying to relax (that evil word!) and get healthy.

We made a plan that at the end of summer we would start ART if we still hadn't conceived naturally. Then in early July I happened upon this book online "The Infertility Cure" by Randine Lewis, Ph.D. I bought the book and began reading immediately. TCM is based on the theory that whatever problem you have is based on a whole body imbalance. And when you fix the imbalance, the problem will correct itself. They don't treat symptoms with medicine. They treat the problem that causes the symptoms (an imbalance) with diet, herbs, and acupuncture mostly.

Finally! Something that would address the imbalance in me that was causing infertility! There is a questionnaire in the book that lists 5 pages of "symptoms" that then tell you where the imbalance lies. And then it tells you specifically what to do to fix it! She said it normally takes 3 - 6 months for your body to come into balance. I had 3 months until ART was to start. I figured I'd do the recommendations in the book and then if we still hadn't conceived, ART would be in place ready to go. I put forth full effort. I jokingly said I wanted a "free baby!", so I put my health first. I found a Chinese acupuncturist (something my ART doctors highly recommend) who specializes in infertility. She said she actually uses the questionnaire in this book when someone comes to her for infertility. I filled it out, read the book, and started the dietary guidelines immediately. Which for me was to cut out dairy, wheat and high-sugar foods, not to eat cold foods, to do things like warm foot soaks and femoral artery massage to stimulate blood flow to the uterus. I had my first acupuncture treatment for fertility on day 24 of my cycle (last Wednesday).

Yesterday, I had a positive result for a pregnancy test!! Over 6 long years of negative results, broken dreams and self-doubt. I believed there was a natural way to allow me to conceive. And I finally found it. I never even took any of the herbs. I didn't get a chance! Ladies, I can't tell you, this was the easiest thing I did over the 6 years of trying. Please, before you take medical drugs or start ART, try this. Even if you need ART because of a medical problem, this book teaches you easily how to get your body in the best possible place it can be for conception to occur. I cannot recommend it enough for obvious reasons.

I know first hand the frustration and sadness that not being able to conceive brings. I pray for anyone who is looking for the answers that I was to see this and give it a try. I pray that anyone who reads this will also send out a little prayer for us that this pregnancy continues and that I am able to give birth to a beautiful healthy child that we have been waiting for, for so long. I will pray for all who read this to share in the success that we have had!

As a male, I bought this book for my wife (who had 3 miscarriages). I started reading the book as it promoted nutrition and health as a way of making the whole woman strong enough to conceive. I really felt for the author, Randine Lewis, after her trials of losing her babies. But was also inspired by her research, persistence and hope to conceive. I have not grasped all of the Chinese Traditional Medicine described. However, by following the nutrition, herbal and massage methods, my wife is feeling better and more hopeful in her latest pregnancy. We hope to have a baby by February 2009. Thank you Randine.

This is a must read for anyone that is fighting infertility!!! I have only made a few changes and have already seen a difference in my body!! Several of the herbs I was already taking! I can't wait to see what the coming months have to offer!!! This book has brought me new hope!!! I have blocked tubes and PCOS. She talk about both of these issues in this book its great!!!!

This books has given me insight into other avenues to explore when dealing with infertility. It has a lot of information that isn't generally offered in the doctor's office.

I've already consulted with a practitioner of TCM and was hoping this book could assist with the diet and nutrition aspects, but it's more than a little confusing. I have PCOS and am now completely confused with what I can eat. My TCM diagnoses recommend avoiding cold foods because of dampness (which includes most lettuces and other salad fare) but also suggests I stay away from wheat, refined carbs, meats, shellfish and microwaved foods when you combine all the recommendations for my particular imbalances. Oh, and to eat 6 small meals a day. If someone can tell me how I am supposed to work away from home and eat warm foods that have not been microwaved, I'm listening. Luckily, I can talk to my practitioner and get help. All in all, the book seems like it would be most helpful for those already in the care of a TCM practitioner and not as a tool to use on one's own.

An excellent book to come back to as a reference. It was very interesting.

every woman should buy this book if only to connect with her body and better understand it; trying to get pregnant or not.
i bought this book out of interest (i'm working towards an integrative medical degree) and this book is a great overview of chinese medicine views on the female body, fertility and health in general. the best part is that i know so many women who have become healthier just from using the changes she suggests!

This is a great book with a lot of solid information in it. It combines western and eastern medicinal views to help you get pregnant. I just recently began acupuncture, and my acupuncturist recommended that I purchase this book. During my first session, she gave me the survey out of the book to help pinpoint (haha) where my problems may lie. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is struggling to get pregnant!

This book was excellent, gave me so much insight into fertlity and my body and convinced me that Eastern Medicine was the way to go. After reading it through I located an acupuncturist in my area www.ginamusettilac.com who specializes in infertility. I saw her for 3 months every week following the treatment that is also recommended in this book! After 4 years of unexplained infertility and many unsuccessful Western Medicine treatments, I am now 6 weeks pregnant!! This approach had everything to do with getting my body where it needed to be to conceive! The book has a wealth of information to get you on the right path!

I bought this book in hopes of gaining some insite into my fertility issues from an eastern view point. I also was interested in accupuncture and how it could help fertility issues. This book is a great resounce with lots of helpful information. I think an herbalist and accupunturist would be needed to fully carry out the recomendations. There are a lot of suggestions that you can do on your own and lots of uplifting success stories. I would love to seek out the author personally for treatment.

I first saw this book in a bookstore and immediately became interested because it went beyond touting the average information which you can get for free on the internet. The Western way of looking at health issues/problems is to treat the injured part ignoring the fact that it is connected to a whole body. The Eastern way is to look at it in relation to the whole body and likewise treating everything that is not in balance (including your emotions as necessary). It is the holistic way of looking at health that attracted me. I am suffering from secondary infertility and will be incoporating the principles including getting acupuncture in my quest for a second child. I am of West Indian origin and only now do I understand how it correlates to some of the things the older (west indian) folks would say which I previously ignored. They would talk about certain foods being 'cold' (eg. cucumbers) and why it should not be eaten after a certain time in the evening. They would talk about certain foods being heated which should be avoided if you had symptoms should as acne or sores. It is amazing that eastern philospoy is somewhat related to the west indian folk wisdom. My eyes have been opened. This is a less invasive course of treating my symptoms which basically show a lack of balance or stasis in my general and reproductive health. Thank you Randine Lewis for being so clear. Caution to the average reader this book has to be read multiple times for you to 'get' it. It is quite intense.

If you are having fertility problems and are searching for unconventional ways to overcome them, then PLEASE GET THIS BOOK! It is full of so many different things to try that a "regular" OB or even RE will never suggest you do because they might not believe they work. Simple things such as dietary changes, supplements, acupressure are in here. While I still did not conceive naturally, our third attempt with IVF was successful. The suggestions in here really did change my hormone test results and got them to levels they never would have been without the advice.

This book changed my life. I have mild endometriosis. Through infertility treatments, I was able to get pregnant three times--and have three miscarriages. After the third unexplained miscarriage, my doctor told me that I probably should pursue adoption or donor eggs. I thought the fact that my miscarriages were unexplained probably meant they were missing something. Thus, I read this book cover to cover about 10 times. I could't believe what I read as it described me perfectly--and problems that I had been suffering from for years but thought were unrelated to fertility!!! I started acupuncture, herbs, and followed the diet in this book pretty religiously. Over the next three months, I saw all these changes in my body occur--my cycles became more healthy, I stopped being cold all the time, I had more energy, etc. After three months, I tried one more IUI and told my doc that I thought it would work this time. He told me not to get my hopes up as I was a difficult case. Well, now we have a beautiful 15 month old because of this book and a very embarrassed doctor (who completely poo pooed the whole acupuncture, herb thing). Don't let the docs who don't know a thing about proper nutrition steer you away from this book!!! It really works!!

When I was diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Failure, I was pretty much given no options and no hope. As a last ditch effort, I did a search for alternative treatments for POF. I came across this book. It has been the greatest help for me and I am changing my life around. I am on the road to becoming normal again and I owe it all to this book. I of course enlisted the help of a TCM doctor after reading this book and she has helped me as well.

This book provides a lot of positive information for women who are struggling to conceive a baby. It illustrates the importance of being in tune with your body and how a variety of imbalances can be rectified by diet and lifestyle. She also gives hope to those women who have been diagnosed as infertile from western doctors. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is having difficulty having a baby.

After struggling with unsuccessful attempts with clomid, IUIs, 4 cancelled IVF cycles and even one unsuccessful pregnancy with Donor Eggs I read Dr. Lewis's book. Having been diagonsed with Unexplained Infertility I knew that there had to be another way. So I followed her advice and guidelines...
Last week I had a retrieval (of my own eggs) and transfer and am one week away from a pregnancy test!
Regardless of a positive pregnancy test - this book changed my life. Read it!
If nothing else it is a gift to yourself to lead you to live your best, whole, happy life!

All one can say about such an informative book is, wow! Great info that makes sense and easy to read. One toe in the western hemisphere and one in the eastern. And both tied together to make an obscure subject easy to comprehend.

I started doing acupuncture to help my infertility and this book was very informative to understand how it works. At times it was a little bit of information overload. But topics were organized well and explained clearly. I had a much better understanding of how traditional Chinese medicine approaches improving fertility and it has really increased my interest in my acupuncture sessions. Definitely a recommended read for those pursuing this treatment.

I just put my 6 week old son to bed-- the result of following a combination of this books' practices as well as an endocrinologist' testing and -- I believe-- just plain grace from the Lord-- While I am sure you could follow everything to a "T" and not get pregnant, I found her holistic advice to be a great counterpoint to Western medicine's sole focus on getting your eggs, uterine lining, and his sperm to behave-- But I DO think it is important to start any fertility journey by getting tested to be sure that all of your "parts" so to speak are in order. (ie HSG, ultrasound for ovaries and uterine lining, post coital test, etc) What she proposes isn't easy and involves reducing stress, radically changing your diet, and taking gross herbs, but I found all of the treatments would compliment Western medicine. In my personal case, I followed all her advice-- with the guidance of a licensed acupuncturist. (I would NEVER attempt to decide myself about the herbs, acu points, etc. ) from reducing stress to diet change. In addition, once I had naturally achieved pregnancy-- I continued treatment and monitoring from my RE for low progesterone.

I bought this book while I was struggling with infertility. I'm happy to say that I finally have a beautiful baby girl. It's been a while since I read this book, but I attribute it to me living a more natural lifestyle and really thinking about how the chemicals around us could have affected my fertility. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a way to help the process along, naturally.

I can't say that I was cured after reading or applying the information from this book, however, I still suggest this for people in the midst of struggling. One of the things that I really needed when I first began treatments was to feel that I had a sense of control over what felt completely out of my hands. Reading this book gave me that enpowerment. I worked through the surveys and learned an alternative way of thinking about my body. I was then able to take that information to an acupuncturist and have an intelligent conversation about my condition.

While I know very little about TCM, this book was comprehensive and carefully thoughtout. I did not feel overwhelmed by the material and it provided me with an education on an area of fertility treatment that has worked for many others.

The only downside to this book was that it tried to deal with too many possible diagnosis situations. Many of the chapters did not apply to my situation and therefore not necessary for my reading. I did, however, pass the book onto others, making the entire book worthwhile.

This book is one of the best that I've read regarding fertility. Since it's marketed as "infertility", I didn't read until I had been trying for a while, but recommend this book as one to read BEFORE you start trying to conceive.

This is wonderful book for both practitioners and laypeople alike. I initially found this book through a patient and have used it extensively with every fertility patient I've seen since then. Dr. Lewis has information that ranges from dietary changes that anyone can get started with immediately to Traditional Chinese Medicine patterns in infertility and acupuncture protocols that any practitioner who uses acupuncture can use. This is also a great book for patients to bring to their doctors, naturopaths or acupuncturists. Acupuncture and (sometimes) herbs are now being encouraged by many mainstream fertility clinics and this book allows me to have much of the information I need at my fingertips.

If you are trying to become pregnant or if you are a practitioner that uses Traditional Chinese Medicine with your patients, this book is a must.

This book was recommended by my acupuncturist and has a wealth of information! It really helps you understand the practice of acupuncture, herbs, and what YOU can do to maximize the benefits!

This book made me hopeful that I can actually heal and improve my chances to conceive naturally. The book is poorly written with a lot of repetitions, illogical structure and bad selection of examples that sound like excuses. If you don't believe in Chinese Medicine this book is not going to convert you. But if you believe and if you can get through the book you will find a lot of good practical advice there.

I am already seeing an acupuncturist to support fertility. I appreciated the added insight this book gave to TCM and the authors willingness to work along side western medicine for positive pregnancy outcomes. Highly recommended.

Excellent source of information for anyone trying to have a baby! It's a fantastic book!!

I am 45 years old and have a beautiful five-month-old baby girl, after a western fertility doctor said I had "between a zero to five-percent chance" of conceiving with my own egg. Applying the information from this book changed my reproductive health entirely. TCM is underrated in this country. Dr. Randine Lewis, THANK YOU a million times over.

Lewis challenges us to look more closely at the truth of ancient wisdom and not be afraid to question western world thinking when it comes to health. The intuitive insight, that our bodies are built to function well when we care for and nurture them in health and balance, comes through in this work of balanced wisdom. The anecdotes are encouraging and real: some success resulting in pregnancy, others in balancing the body and recognizing there are no miracle cures. The way the text describes the body in balance and the clear suggestions for optimizing the natural functions of our body systems make this an important read for women and men who want to work efficient and effectively through the process of taking care of our fertility. This is a comforting look at what has before been treated as "mysterious medical magic" by some western medical practitioners. The fact that Lewis is both a M.D. and credentialed in TCM allows her to advocate for the best of both worlds of thought.

This book is very comprehensive to those new to the Eastern Medicine approach. It has helped me understand what my accupuncturist is doing and how it is treating my fertility issues. I am new to accupunture and herbs and this has really helped me feel a part of the solution instead of a victim of infertility. I highly recommend it.

Very informative. Love the author's perspective which is a combo of Western medicine, Eastern medicine, and a woman who has suffered through this. I have made multiple changes in my lifestyle since reading this, and feel more positive now. I can't say if they have improved my fertility (still not pregnant), but I do think I am headed in the right direction now.

For anyone going through the journey of infertility or who have an interest in the field of 'infertility' this is a well written and very informative book. It deals with all aspects of infertility and acupuncture and I would recommend it to everyone on the road to ART.

An absolute MUST for infertile couples. I was fed up of western medicines answers to my 'unexplained' infertility and so purchased this book as an alternative. Within a few months of acupuncture and dietary changes, we became pregnant after YEARS of being unable to conveive. (Now my 1 year old is running around giggling at his new found ability to walk). The book makes a lot of sense and is very user-friendly. It addresses many of the known causes of infertility from both the western and eastern perspective. I had to read it a few times to really digest all of it, but I recommend to all infertile couples without reserve. It even offers suggestions for treating male infertility.

My husband and I tried to conceive for 2 1/2 years with doctors telling us our infertility cause was "unknown". I read this book, followed her advice and we conceived after just two months. Dr. Lewis gives easy to follow steps to personal diagnosis and cure through Traditional Chinese Medicine. She has been trained in both Chinese and Western medicine and she boasts a 75% success rate, much higher than we see in western fertility clinics. And having experienced infertility herself, she offers much comfort and hope to those of us who have been on the emotional roller coaster of trying and failing to get pregnant. The recommendations used in her Traditional Chinese Treatments will also compliment western medicine for those who are not ready to give up on their fertility doctor. Highly recommended for any couple who has struggled with infertility.

Dr. Lewis' book is full of important and easy-to-understand information on curing infertility naturally. From the first chapter, she makes you believe that there is hope for you, and then gives clear direction on what you have to do to take control of your reproduction, and by extension, your life.

This is an amazing book! It is very optimistic in tone while also recognizing the seriousness of what we deal with when we are afraid we might not be able to conceive. The book is very very clearly written and provides clear instructions on how to implement her recommendations. I found that sitting with the book and a notebook and really working the book like back in school helped me have a very clear understanding of what I needed to do.

I'm also a big fan of "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" and between these two books I came away with an excellent understanding of what was happening with my cycle. In fact, when I spoke to my midwife about what I was observing she was extremely impressed with my level of knowledge and gave me the names of fertility textbooks that they use in midwife school!

About midway through this book I did decide to see an acupuncturist rather than just rely on the acupressure points that she describes so I can't speak to how well things would have worked based only on the book. But I am able to speak to my acupuncturist intelligently about what is going on in my cycle. And in just about one month of going to him I am seeing very impressive results in my charting.

Personally, I believe very strongly in my body's ability to heal and correct itself and I believe that my body wants to operate optimally and will if given the right tools. This book has given me some of the tools.

This book is a MUST READ for anyone trying to get pregnant. At 39 I had an FSH of 15.9 and was told by a fertility specialist to consider donor eggs or adoption - end of story no other options. He said I was out of eggs and gave me a 5% chance of conciving (with or without IVF) and a 1% chance of carrying a baby to full term. My husband and I where devistated to say the least. I did tons of research, sat in chat rooms and read thousands of on-line postings and support group websites. This book made the difference! I never believed in anything non-western and thought all the other stuff like acupuncture was hokey. I read the book cover to cover, followed a strict diet and did acupunture. After one, yes ONE month of trying I became pregnent and had a perfect girl. Nine months after that I did everything again and after four months of trying go pregnant again and have perfect little boy. I want to put their pictures on a brick and throw it through that doctors wondow. If you are having problems please read this book. While I understand that this may not help someone with blocked tubes who needs surgery at least you can check the box that it's not an imbalance due to bad diet or stress. Please ladies, read this book with an open mind and give it a try. This book and a lot of sincere prayer helped me. And to those of you trying who are frustrated and heartbroken please know that you are not alone!

Randine Lewis has taken all the most valuable information for any woman trying to conceive and condensed it into this extremely comprehensible and succinct book. Offering woman and incredible oppurtunity to heal themselves by understanding in depth how the body works and what they can do to support their fertility journey. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to conceive read this book.

After having a miscarriage at 8 weeks, and having waited for that pregnancy to happen for 12 years, I found comfort in researching as much as possible about dealing with the pain of my loss. Finding this book has made me realize why I have had so much trouble getting pregnant to begin with. It is easy to read and has a step by step explanation on how to apply the Ancient Chinese Medicine and methods in your life-style to be successfully pregnant... naturally. I strongly recommend this book to anyone in search for the "infertility cure".

I strongly recommend Dr. Lewis's book. It helped me take charge of my infertility issues. I followed the book closely, starting about two years ago. I changed my diet, did acupuncture for more than a year (with a great acupuncturist) took herbs through my acupuncturist (in between the western treatments I was trying) and just persisted despite the hard statistics (will be 40 soon). I also did hypnotherapy, and yoga. And even though my endocrinologist kept telling me I had a low ovarian response, I continued my regimen. I am convinced that in addition to the different IVF protocol that my endocrinologist tried with me (twice), Dr. Lewis' suggestions were instrumental in helping me to conceive. I now have a 6-month-old beautiful baby boy! So thank you so much Dr. Lewis.

I've been seeing an acupunturist for a year now. Throughout my treatments, I've had great results for several other issues ignored by regular doctors, but I still haven't been able to get pregnant.

Recently he gave me this book and I nearly ate it up. It has really helped me to be more proactive with my treatments. I was a bit overwhelmed with the sections on herbal suppliments and I've left the responsiblity of deciding which herbs to use with my acupuncturist, but there is also lots of good advice for diet, lifestyle, and at home treatments. I've found the book to be a great source of information for anyone who is open minded to the power of combining Eastern and Western medicine. I hope the changes I've made will make the difference, and if it does, I'll gladly change my rating to 5 stars.

After 4 years trying to conceive I got pregnant one month after read this book and follow Randine's advices. It was amazing. Everything makes sense. I am recomending this book to all my brazilian friends but it is a pitty there is no portuguese version. I had history of recurrent miscarriages and genetic problemas but got pregnant naturally at age of 41 yo and high FSH after 9 induction Clomid cycles, videolaparoscopy, 2 HSGs and 3 negative IUIs

I bought this book in July of 04, after 2 failed attempts at IVF.
We started late at having a baby. We conceived naturally in 2002, but miscarried, the embryo was not viable. I found a licensed acupuncturist, quit my job as a first grade teacher and after 6 months of treatment using herbs, acupuncture and prayer we conceived! We had a little boy in October 05'. I do believe that acupuncture and the regiment I followed helped us to have our son. I continued acupuncture throughout my pregnancy and still do today. I was 43 1/2 when our little man was born. The book gave me a whole different perspective on infertility and other options to use and help along with the IVF.

I bought this book after asking an online discussion board about acupuncture. We had been trying to conceive for over 3 years. I read the book, followed the guidelines for my particular diagnosis (Dr. Lewis provides an simple way to self-diagnose.) I was shocked at the fact that my Western fertility doctor told me that some of my issues were not of significance, when in fact Dr. Lewis believed that they were. FINALLY, someone acknowledged me. I found an acupunturist, took supplements and was pregnant within 3 weeks.
Please keep an open mind when reading the book. My husband's family owns natural supplement stores so I was already pretty indoctrinated but I found this book to be nothing short of a miracle. It changed my life. Baby is due in October.

Especially if you are older and ttc, please buy this book! It will give you so much hope and information! It explains all the reasons why acupuncture, having a natural, healthy diet and lifestyle, and taking herbs will help you find better health--and help you get pregnant! PLEASE do not think twice about buying this book. I have recommended it to many of my friends and they have all gotten so much out of it. You will, too! Get it, you will not be dissapointed!
