The Fastest Review

This book was just as the seller described it. There was nothing wrong with the book when I received it and that was great. I picked regular ground shipping and I received the product well before the expected arrival time.

Very Helpful

I found this book to be extremely informative and helpful. After reading through it, and following the instructions recommeneded I conceived within 2 months. I originally checked this book out at the library, and I found it to be so helpful that I bought it. If you have questions/ concerns about being able to conceive, and wanting to get pregnant quickly, I would highly recommend this book.

My husband and I found this book insightful and helpful in trying to conceive our first child. My menstrual cycles are irregular and I was concerned I would have difficulty conceiving. I can say with excitement that my husband and I are expecting our first child in January, and we have this book to thank. I would recommend this book to anyone who is trying to start or expand their family.

A GODSEND

After months of trying to conceive our second child, a friend sent me this book. Having easily conceived our first child with the use of ovulation predictor kits, my husband and I thought we knew everything we needed to know about conception. I was amazed at how much information this book contains that I had never heard before. For instance, I never knew that a woman's caffiene and alcohol consumption can affect her fertility. That is just one of the numerous ways in which this book was helpful. It also contains great information about the various sex selection techniques that have been used throughout the years. I am happy to report that we are now expecting our second child! Thanks Dr. Williams!

Scheduling Your Pregnancy

I found a recent review that I thought was excellent by Vicky Collins of www.babylounge.com. It reads,"If you're like most women, once you decide you want to be pregnant, you want it to happen immediately. If you fall into this category, then this book is for you. The Fastest Way to Get Pregnant Naturally is an essential book for every woman who yearns to earn the title of "mommy.""This wonderful book is written by OB/GYN and fertility specialist, Dr. Christopher Williams. The first few chapters cover the preconception steps you should take to ensure maximum fertility, and a healthy baby. These chapters include everything from cutting out the obvious, like smoking, alcohol and caffeine, to taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid, stopping birth control, getting the proper nutrition, and getting to a healthy weight (not too thin or too heavy)."After you read about what you need to do before trying to conceive, you get to the good stuff...predicting ovulation. Unlike the more traditional ways of detecting ovulation, such as basal body temperature and cervical mucus, this book encourages the use of the ovulation kits that are so readily available in your local drug store (the author explains why using the ovulation kits is an easier and a more reliable methods for detecting ovulation). In addition, the book goes into more detail on how to properly use the kits than I found in the pamphlet included in the kit itself."Before reading this book I didn't think ovulation kits (they run about $15-30 per month) were worth the cost. However, when I thought about the fact that I could probably conceive faster using the kits, $15 a month didn't seem like too much!"An entire chapter is dedicated to what to do in the bedroom to maximize fertility. The usual tips such as optimal positions and frequency are mentioned. In addition, you might be surprised to learn that lubricants like K-Y jelly may kill sperm, and that electric blankets may decrease fertility and increase the rate of miscarriage."Other important chapters are dedicated to topics like the man's role in getting pregnant quickly (his nutritional, social, medications, and age do matter), and the age old question of whether you can choose the sex of your baby."This comprehensive book is a wonderful way to get a leg up on everything you need to do in order to ensure maximum fertility and be well on your way to the most joyful experience of your life...parenthood."
