After reading all these reviews, I bought the book thinking I was buying THE infertility book must-have. It’s OK. Not great, not bad, but not what the hype here led me to believe. I’ll keep it in the library, but I’ll be more careful about buying based on reviews here.

The cover of this book seemed promising but the contents let us down. We have a three year old so I thought all I needed was something to increase my blood flow and acupuncture was the best thing I could think of. But don’t make the mistake we did and put all your eggs in one basket.

It turned out that I had a blocked fallopian tube and no amount of acupuncture or Chinese herbs can remedy this. After having it surgically removed, we did IVF and got pregnant on the first try.

But what really helped get us through it was reading an IVF book. My best friend has read several but said “What to Do When You Can’t Get Pregnant” is by far the best. She was right. It was easy to read, empathetic, and helped us every step of the way.

Lucky for us we found out early that we needed a specialist. A woman in my support group wasn’t so lucky. She has tried natural remedies for the past six years only to learn she’s now going though early menopause.

Our advice is to get a check up first then decide what book to buy second.

This book is really great considering it offers natural ways of conceiving…THERE is a new study out of Israel – that HYPNOSIS doubles IVF success rate!! http://www.ourjerusalem.com. I also read and followed Michelle LeClaire’s book/method of HYPNOFERTILITY and it worked. http://www.leclairemethod.com

After several failed attempts to get pregnant using western medicine (at a cost of over $30,000), I was referred to Dr. Lewis by one of the best reproductive endocrinologists in Houston, TX. I was extremely skeptic about acupuncture and what it could do for me but decided to give it a try based on my doctor’s recommendation and the fact that I had nothing to lose. In addition, the cost of acupuncture treatments and herbs were miniscule compared to the money my husband and I had already spent.

After only a couple of weeks, I noticed significant changes in my menstrual cycle. After three months, I had more energy, felt better than I ever have before, and was no longer bothered by allergies. I have not gotten pregnant, but given the vast improvement in my well being and quality of life I feel blessed to have come in contact with Dr. Lewis. I continue to receive treatments at Dr. Lewis’ clinic to address my endometriosis.

Dr. Lewis’ book explains the traditional chinese medicine approach and her own diagnostic and treatment methods. She also cites many examples from her own patients’ experiences. More importantly, she is extremely compassionate and understands what people dealing with infertility are going through. I highly recommend her book to anyone considering expensive fertility treatments. Read her book first and consider pursuing traditional chinese medicine treatments before you spend money on western fertility treatments.

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.
