Conception Chronicles

So, I finally finished reading, The Conception Chronicles; the Unsensored Truth About Sex, Love and Marriage When You Are Trying To Get Pregnant by Patty Doyle Debano.

I loved this book! It was an easy read that was jammed packed with information. In addition, the humor was wonderfully used when addressing the “hard emotional stuff.”

The book is set up like many others. The chapter topics are as follows:
1. Practice Makes Perfect, Right?
2. Finding Your Fertile Self
3. If the Stick is Blue, You Know What to Do!
4. The Fertile Friend
5. Calling in the Pros
6. The Angry Ovulator
7. Testing, Testing…one, two, three
8. The Psychotic Supplement
9. The Envelope, Please
10. Give it Your Best Shot
11. What Do You Tell the Paparazzi?
12. IVF” I Vow Not to Freak Out
13. There’s More Than One Road to Motherhood
14. Mama, Madre, Mommy, Mum

You can tell by the chapter titles, that the authors have a great sense of humor! The book is basically an informational guide of what to expect when you are trying to get pregnant. It addresses topics such as choosing a doctor and the frustrations in trying to take advantage of your most fertile days.

What makes this book unique is that the text is supplemented by related e-mails that the authors sent each other as they were individually trying to become pregnant. Many are hysterical…some are poignant as well.

The authors seem to really nail the emotional roller coaster and internal dialogue that we all experience when we are trying to become pregnant.

Definitely an enjoyable read!

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
     

  • Connect with others at our online community! If you have questions about trying-to-conceive – or if you just want to vent a bit – we have a wonderful, vibrant community of people who’d just love to hear from you.

Find your most fertile time.
