One couple we asked for help, Kim and Jane, both excellent photographers with the patience of saints, lived in an old converted school house and dedicated their time to capturing images we might have thought impossible. On our visits to see how things were going, there would be all sorts of animals in various setups ready for their star turn. It was thrilling when the photographs arrived. Such a variety of creatures caught at this amazing moment when they enter the big wide world. this was an interesting read. not looking to become pregnant any time soon but i'm on a quest to better understand fertility and the intricacies of uterine ownership lol. i don't have much to critique here because it didn't seem to veer too far into fear mongering territory, though some of the fixes suggested seemed a little extreme to me.

Fold your scrap paper in half vertically, and draw half an egg shape. Cut round it, then open out – this is your template. Transfer the symmetrical egg shape onto your five sheets. Carefully cut them out. One CRAZY MIND BLOWING thing I read, was that men think they're off the hook if they pass a sperm test--but she points out the tests only look at how many sperm and how they are swimming. The test doesn't look at their DNA! So what's the point of having a lot of sperm if they're defective? Fortunately, men can improve their sperm quality and she has a chapter dedicated to that as well. Right off the bat, Fett misleads her readers. She talks about how she was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) in her mid-20s, right before she underwent IVF. She claims she was told she would be “unlikely to conceive with her own eggs.” Determined to prove the medical community wrong, she ate really healthy, exercised a lot, and did a bunch of research on which supplements could improve her egg quality. And yay! She got 20 eggs at egg retrieval. (This is an average number, btw.) And she and her husband got 19 embryos. They “set a fertility clinic record” with their unusually high amount of embryos.

There IS a large focus on supplements which not everyone will like. But the author’s breakdown of how these work and the (many) studies to support the recommendations she makes is, in my opinion, valuable. Women’s egg quality is one of the most important factors in getting pregnant, not necessarily timing ovulation. You can ovulate all you want but if you aren’t producing healthy eggs there’s little chance Melatonin supplements - only helpful in IVF as can make it more difficult for fertility in long term For the basics, my favourite is Michel Roux’s Eggs. The French take their eggs very seriously, as allegedly demonstrated by the 100 pleats in a chef’s toque representing the number of egg dishes they need to master. Roux’s book is a masterclass on all the classic French ways of serving eggs (I love the section on baked eggs) as well as doing a good job of demystifying soufflés, crêpes and anything made with custard.

How to improve egg health - #1 is avoid BPA, Even in minuscule amounts. From plastic food storage containers, canned food and drinks, and paper receipts. Overall, this is a good read. However, I find that some information are written redundantly all throughout the book, though the author might just want to reiterate to the readers that the facts presented here are based on researches done by fertility experts from all over the world; some proven and others are still under study. Still, I feel like it is unnecessary to repeat the similar information in almost every chapter when more examples or situations should have been added instead. months for sperm to be made and oxidation takes place - need the right amount not too much or too little (vitamin C and E needed for this) high oxidation has higher DNA fragmentation and infertility. Whether you are readying yourself to get pregnant, have been trying to conceive for a long time, prepping for IUIs or IVFs, or have gone through several miscarriages… whatever step of the journey you are at, this is a must read.

I thought I was done reading books on how to improve fertility and increase the odds of getting pregnant, at least for awhile, but here we are. Ich konnte dieses Buch nicht weglegen, so sehr war ich mit den einfachen Erklärungen dieser komplexen wissenschaftlichen Thematik beschäftigt. Das macht alles viel mehr Sinn, wenn man weiß, dass Ernährung zwar wichtig ist, Unfruchtbarkeit jedoch viel mehr ist als Diät." My husband implemented a few things out of curiosity and said he feels better, has more energy, can ride his bike longer, and is recovering faster from his workouts. Reduce overall carbohydrate intake and increase overall protein intake, but do not do "low carb" ideally 40% carb, 30% fat, 30% protein This was a fascinating read. I appreciate that it’s written by a molecular biologist and she includes the science behind each of the recommendations, and the results from various scientific studies for each recommendation.

This is an incredible resource for anyone TTC. Whether you are trying to naturally, through IUI, or IVF the author provides insightful information on how to improve your odds. There is also discussion around conditions such as PCOS and, to a lesser extent, endometriosis. I also really appreciate the chapter on men’s health and improving semen quality. Other books I’ve read seem to gloss over that. The diet chapters are horrifying, of course. This is a popular science book. What were you expecting? Fett claims that everyone trying to get pregnant should eat low-mercury fish. No, no, don’t just rely on the omega-3s in your prenatals! You need to eat the actual fish. Sorry, vegans. No babies for you, I guess. Also, you need to stress over whether you’re eating too many potatoes. You’re not having trouble conceiving because you’re over 35 or because you can’t tell when you’re ovulating. It’s definitely the potatoes. With a cult following around the world, Big Green Egg has been helping people discover the true meaning of flavour for over 40 years.

A must-read for women wanting the best chance of conceiving a healthy baby.” -- Beth Greer, bestselling author of Super Natural Home

Looking for something different

What’s wrong here? First of all, there’s an ongoing debate in the IVF community whether or not people with DOR have lower quality eggs or just fewer eggs. It probably depends on a lot on the patient’s age and her medical conditions. Rebecca Fett does have autoimmune arthritis (that’s why she used a surrogate), but she was also only 26 when she started TTC. As far as I can tell, she and her husband never tried naturally. They always knew they'd use a surrogate. I have a hard time believing that her doctors told her she was “unlikely to conceive with her own eggs” with a full stop. Perhaps they said she’d be unlikely to conceive “if you wait until you’re 35” or “your odds of needing donor eggs are higher than the average woman your age.” Or even if her initial diagnosis of DOR was a fluke. (This can happen if you’re on birth control when you get tested.) Because of all my previous reading, some of the information wasn't "new" to me, but plenty was and I appreciated how comprehensive and easy-to-understand this book is on hormone health. the odds of pregnancy were four times higher for women with high vitamin D levels compared to those with a vitamin D I found this book so helpful. You hear about things like BPAs and other chemicals being bad for you, but I was never sure exactly what I should be avoiding and to be honest it all just seemed too difficult. This is the first book I've read that really puts it all together, explains what you should avoid and what the risks are, and also what positive things you can do, what nutrients are important, etc. I also had no idea how much much of an impact you could make to your fertility by making a few simple changes.
