Book Reviews of The Fertile Female: How the Power of Longing for a Child Can Save Your Life and Change the World
Book Review: If you are haven't been able to conceive, this is a must!
Summary: 5 Stars
We started trying to have a baby in the fall of 2005. Soon after I stopped taking the pill, I thought I was going to be one of those lucky ones that get pregnant right away because my period didn't come for around 60 days. I kept taking pregnancy tests thinking the next one was going to be positive.
Eventually it became clear that my cycles were pretty much out of sink, and that I was going to have to wait a little bit; they were lasting between 50 and 60 days and I didn't even know if I was ovulating or not.
After 6 or 7 months, I started working with a naturopathic doctor. She taught me how to take my basal body temperature so I could understand my body better, and started prescribing some natural fertility remedies. After 2.5 year, I got pregnant. Back then, pregnancy equaled baby. I went for my first ultrasound at 10 weeks, and the baby didn't have a heartbeat. Four moths after, I got pregnant again, but then the 8 weeks ultrasound revealed no heartbeat again!
I kept eating well and working with my doctor, and trying to get pregnant, but it was just not happening.
One day, my doctor recommended checking the Fertile Heart website. I did, and read about Julia, her story and her work. I decided to buy The Fertile Female; I loved it from the first page. It was a book full of hope, empowerment and tools. Soon after that I also bought Inconceivable, I just wanted to know more and more about this miracle so many women had experienced with her method, hoping that it was possible for me also with a little bit of work and commitment. I loved both books; I would totally recommend anybody trying to conceive a baby to read them and applied them to your life.
After reading both books, I started participating in the Fertile Heart phone circles, sharing my feelings and asking questions. I even scheduled a private phone session with Julia. I started practicing daily the techniques described in the book, and doing the homework from the phone circles. In February I decided to attend the one day intensive workshop in Woodstock and came away with some important revelations about why I might not be getting pregnant.
By mid April I found out that I was pregnant again, this time the ultrasound showed a beautiful little baby with a strong heartbeat. My pregnancy has been easy, with no complications . Today I am 34 weeks pregnant, and I am expecting a healthy baby girl.
It's been a 5 year journey. There were times when everybody (including my parents) was pressuring me to do ART, take some Clomid or try something else. Today I can say I am glad I stood my ground and I followed what felt right to me. I am a very different person, and I will be a much better mom. This has been a life lesson for me, and a huge part of it, I learned through the Fertile Heart Ovum practice, and The Fertile Female.
