Book List

I'd love to have a quick list of books that people have read or recommend so I thought I'd ask? Thanks in advance...

two I have & love:
Fully Fertile - 12 week holistic approach to optimizing fertility (from Pulling Down the Moon)

Inconceivable - an easy read, novel style approach, tells one woman's fertility journey starting with a FSH so high no one would even treat her... the book is about her becoming healthy & taking care of herself which leads her down a positive & unexpected path

I like the book, A Few Good Eggs. It is written by two women about different infertility topics. It is an easy read and I have picked up many times to read about different things. It is from their perspective.

I have Infertility for Dummies which is very informative and a good reference guide. A few good eggs is a good one and you can have a few laughs throughout.

I just started reading Conquering Infertility by Alice Domar who is a doctor from Boston IVF. This book is good for understanding the Mind/Body program they offer and how to do it yourself.
