5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for anyone thinking of starting a family, 8 Aug 2001
By A Customer
I bought this book after seeing it discussed on a fertility site message board. I have to say that sometimes reading it made me quite angry - not with the book, but with our medical system which does not give us this vital (also relatively cheap and simple) advice!

The fact that taking certain vitamin supplements and having a healthy diet can dramatically affect your future child's health (as well as your chances of firstly getting pregnant and then having a viable pregnancy) should be made much more common knowledge. Why doesn't the NHS invest a bit of money in promoting this kind of information and potentially save itself huge amounts on fertility investigations and treatments?

The most amazing statistic is that of 325 couples who got pregnant using this advice, not a single one had a miscarriage or birth defects - the national average is that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage! Now that has to be worth a bit of effort. (The diet is also extremely good for your own health and future health, of course - cutting down your chances of a large number of diseases).

It is early days for us, so it will be some time before we know whether it has been successful, but even if it doesn't work, by reading the book my husband has finally been persuaded to 'do his bit' and alter his eating habits, too - so it's no longer all down to me.

Even if you are not aware of any fertility problems, read this book (or a similar one) before you try to concieve - it could save you an awful lot of heartache! (But read Toni Weschler, too - that contains a lot more info every woman should know about her body!)

1.0 out of 5 stars Superficial and poorly written: a rip-off for the vulnerable, 14 Jan 2005
By Britgrrl (London UK) - See all my reviews
I was deeply disappointed in this book. I bought it based on the reviews I'd read here, and read it as soon as it arrived. It told me nothing I didn't already know from other reading and basic internet research, and while it promised a "detailed four month plan to improve your health before conception" that detailed plan was written on less than one page (!) and simply suggested taking supplements (detailed elsewhere in the book) and not eating non-organic food - something that is extensively and more effectively written about elsewhere. The book contains very little about how to use exercise and mediation to deal with the stress of trying to conceive, is very unclear on explanations of possible problems you may be experiencing, and provides extremely superficial content on chinese herbs which would have been better left out entirely as if anyone tried to self-medicate based on the information provided here they could get themselves into serious trouble.

I would strongly recommend that you buy an alternative. A combination of "taking control of your fertility" by Toni Wechsler and "fertility and conception" by Zita West would do the job of this book much more effectively. If you want to deal specifically with issues when you cannot conceive (which both these do touch on), then you might want to add "the infertility cure" which talks about chinese medicine, and/or a book on meditation such as those by Alice Domar and/or "yoga for fertility". This will provide a much more helpful, less patronising selection for your bookshelf.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't Bother With This One, 9 Jun 2003
By A Customer
If you are trolling Amazon looking to educate yourself about infertility, don't put this in your cart. Marilyn Glenville trades on the current climate of fear and lists hundreds of things that may or may not cause infertility. The only certain thing is that you will be scared to eat anything or do anything or go anywhere if you read this book. So don't. I appreciate that organic-food-vitamin-supplement types usually adhere to their views as articles of faith, but the rest of us would like some backing besides a few meager 1950's studies. You can learn what she tells you about diet, vitamins and supplements from any one of a dozen websites committed to fertility. Her detail is sparse and she - unforgivably- tries to bully you into lifestyle changes without concommitant medical proof. Buy Toni Wechsler's book if you are looking for facts on the physical elements of conceiving or Niravi Payne's book if you are searching for the spiritual elements. And good luck.
