When you've tried everything to get pregnant—from eating the right foods to spending thousands on medical treatments—and nothing's worked, it's hard to stay positive. But this book holds the key to success. The mind-body connection, a vastly under-acknowledged and under-studied area in fertility, has helped many women become pregnant. It can help you, too. Holistic fertility coach A'ndrea Reiter teaches you about the four areas that may be blocking your ability to conceive and offers concrete ways to navigate them. Her mind-body approach focuses on natural methods instead of invasive and expensive fertility procedures. A'ndrea also provides practical exercises, in-depth case studies, eye-opening information, and expert guidance on understanding the nuances of energy and mindset. Whether you have PCOS, endometriosis, male factor infertility, unexplained infertility, thyroid issues, or are over forty, A'ndrea can show you how to move through it and achieve your dream of motherhood.

A renowned sociologist and professor at San Diego State University, Dr. Twenge brought her research background to the huge amount of information—sometimes contradictory, frequently alarmist, and often discouraging— that she encountered online, from family and friends, and in books, and decided to go into the latest studies to find out the real story. The good news is: There is a lot less to worry about than you’ve been led to believe. Dr. Twenge gets to the heart of the emotional issues around getting pregnant, including how to prepare mentally and physically when thinking about conceiving; how to talk about it with family, friends, and your partner; and how to handle the great sadness of a miscarriage. Also covered is how to know when you’re ovulating, when to have sex, timing your pregnancy, maximizing your chances of getting pregnant, how to tilt the odds toward having a boy or a girl, and the best prenatal diet. Trying to conceive often involves an enormous amount of emotion, from anxiety and disappointment to hope and joy.
