Book Reviews of Inconceivable: A Woman's Triumph over Despair and Statistics
Book Review: Positive reinforcement that women over 40 can take control over their fertility
Summary: 5 Stars
Someone bought me this book as I've been working with a fertility clinic trying to conceive a second child. I'm 43, and the clinic doctors are all extremely negative about my chances, even though I conceived my first child at age 40 very easily. When I went in for my IVF implant, my Doctor advised me, "Now you know, the chances of this being successful are still only 10% for women your age." I don't know when I've ever felt so deflated. Here I was, no turning back (eggs already harvested and fertilized, $15,000 in cash paid in advance, months worth of hormone injections) and he was telling me right at this moment this probably wouldn't work. When I got the book, I thought - "Oh no, another depressing book about women struggling to get pregnant." However, the book was nothing like I imagined. I could not put it down. The author's story was so similar to my own, and she provides hope and stories about real women who conceived - naturally - over age 40 by getting in touch with their bodies through acupuncture, herbs, yoga, diet, etc. Nothing that the fertility clinics even talk about! I read the book in one night and I've since recommended it and bought it for many friends who are going through the same thing.
Summary of Inconceivable: A Woman's Triumph over Despair and Statistics
A memoir of hope for the thousands of women struggling with infertility, from one who beat the odds by simply tuning in to her body and tapping her well of sheer determination.At a time when more and more women are trying to get pregnant at increasingly advanced ages, fertility specialists and homeopathic researchers boast endless treatment options. But when Julia Indichova made the rounds of medical doctors and nontraditional healers, she was still unable to conceive a child. It was only when she forsook their financially and emotionally draining advice, turning inward instead, that she finally met with reproductive success. Inconceivable recounts this journey from hopeless diagnoses to elated motherhood.
Anyone who has faced infertility will relate to Julia's desperate measures: acupuncture, unidentifiable black-and-white pellets, herb soup, foul-smelling fruit, even making love on red sheets. Five reproductive endocrinologists told her that there was no documented case of anyone in her hormonal condition getting pregnant, forcing her to finally embark on her own intuitive regimen. After eight caffeine-free, nutrient-rich, yoga-laden months, complemented by visualization exercises, Julia received amazing news; incredibly, she was pregnant. Nine months later she gave birth to a healthy girl.
Unlike the many infertility books that take a clinical "how to" approach, Inconceivable simply professes the wisdom of giving expert status back to the patient. Julia's self-discovery, and her ability to see her body as an ally once again, yield a beautiful message about the importance of honoring the body's innate powers, and the power of life itself.
