Thorough, informative . . . I'm empowered!

I wish I had learned this information a year ago. I'm an American expat living overseas in a country whose medical science is decades behind the U.S. Thus, I've had to educate myself and be my own advocate. This book gave me so much confidence. I told the doctors what tests I needed and then went and bought the correct supplements according to the results. My period is like what it was before. I already feel my body is 3 years younger. I know I'll get pregnant soon.

Too much info for an audiobook

This book has some really great information that is both intuitive and scientific. Unfortunately there is just too much information with specific dosage information that would just be easier to reference in a hard copy book or even ebook. Alternatively there should be a workbook included with audiobook purchase.

good read but at times contradictory or opposing informtion

The book overall was information and increased my awareness of the changes I could consider to improve egg quality and health. However, midway toward the end of the book much of the information focused on IVf and the suggestions or recommendations made to improve overall success for conception and full term pregnancy came with many opposing arguments that left me wondering whether I should implement some of the strategies. At times, the information also seemed redundant.

I wish I read this during my egg retrieval…

I guess she probably quoted Dr. Maya Angelou - Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better. This book has been incredible illuminating. I have only been on the full supplement regimen for someone with low AMH and over 35 and already seeing improvements. I place to do the regimen for at least 3 months but being realistic it might take longer (if at all) but at least know I feel like I know what to try and I can sleep easy knowing I am trying everything.

Finally, someone explains fertility!

The information was excellent, unbiased, and thorough. I finally feel equipped to navigate fertility treatment and make educated decisions. The narrator seemed a bit slow and dry at first, but I turned the speed up to 1.3 and she was perfect for me.

Ivf treatment

I have heard great things about the book and decided to give it a try. There was alot of information regarding egg quality, ivf, reasons why pregnancy isnt occuring. I felt like the author understood the struggle. I highly recommend.

lazy to listen

i think an audible book should have a good narator and doesnt sound like a robot. this topic is really interesting and educational for people who wanted to conceive. but i dont like how the narator sounds like a robot reading a book.
