Okay book

This book is fine. It's easily summarized and contained no surprises. Worth reading but not worth buying new.

Great book for anyone who wants to start a family

Coming from a family where no one has really heard of the concept of "infertility" I have always thought pregnancy was something easy and simple to achieve; as easy as something out of cliche Hollywood movie, all it takes is a crazy weekend in Vegas. Having a family of my own has always been a dream of mine and this book has completely opened my eyes! This book offers practical and healthy ways for women to achieve pregnancy. It contains valuable information about exercise and nutrition that I haven't given a second thought to. The author talks about hormone issues that not only affects fertility but also how it affects people's everyday life such as migraines. The author debunks some of the myths and misconceptions associated with fertility, and gives the readers an insider view on important aspects related to fertility. This is not only a good tool for people considering starting a family of their own, but a great resource for people who just want to live a healthier life. This is a must read for anyone who wants to start a family or is even thinking about starting a family!!! It certainly opened my eyes!!!

best book on fertility ever!!

Dr. Greene's book on fertility is the best book I have read on this topic. It is clearly written and well laid out and packed full of very useful information. I have read several other books on fertility and Dr. Greene's book is without question the best and most informative. I loved it and highly recommend it.

Perfect Hormone Balance is the BEST fertility book on the Market--if offers an array of "perfect" pr

I know what you're thinking: "oh no, not another book about fertility". Let me tell you why I like this book and why I think it's important. You don't know this, but my husband and I had a lot of trouble getting pregnant; then I lost some weight and had a summer off work and stopped thinking about it and surprise! I found myself pregnant. Assuming it was a fluke we really didn't think that we would get pregnant a 2nd time, yet 5 months later we were pregnant again. I was looking for some explanation of why all of a sudden my body started *working the right way* when I met Laurie Tarkan, the co-author of this book. After reading Perfect Hormone Balance for Fertility I now understand a lot more of what my body was doing when I conceived and why I felt so much healthier. I feel like this is a book I can recommend to any couple experiencing infertility. What's great about the book is that it's packed with science, but written in a way that is not overly technical. I can't stand books that are either so technical I feel like I need a dictionary and an encyclopedia on hand just to understand one thing; or the contrast, when I'm given information on a level that is appropriate for an elementary school child--this book strikes the perfect balance (no pun intended!). This is one of those books you can pick up and look at if you have 5 minutes or if you have 3 hours--and it's laid out in a user friendly way as well. Perfect Hormone Balance for Fertility is up on the latest research and really embraces so many current trends: eating organic, eating healthy, reducing exposure to toxins/bio-mutagens, reducing stress, increasing activity, and positive sleep habits. The book has received rave reviews from a number of leading authors and researches, including Dr. Mehmet Oz. Dr. Robert Greene and Laurie Tarkan's book has a number of success stories that will empower couples all over the country. The bottom line is Perfect Hormone Balance for Fertility empowers couples to take an active role in their fertility with concrete steps and furthermore, encourages couples not to blindly jump into one-size-fits-all fertility treatments.
