Book Title: Perfect Hormone Balance for Fertility
Written By: Robert A Greene, M.D., and Laurie Tarkan
Copyright: 2008

If you are looking for a new book that is very informative and empowering, this is the one! I really enjoyed this book because it gave you suggestions for fertility problems by changing diet, environment, and lifestyle. It also looked at fertility plan options that were user friendly. As I read the book, I felt like there were many things I could change in my life right now to increase my fertility levels.

The book looked at fertility/infertility in regards to hormone balance and was broken up into these 4 parts:

Fertility and Your Hormones
Perfect Balance Fertility Program
Understanding Your Fertility Factors
Your Fertility Plan: Making It Happen

It also included journals, planning pages and resources at the end of the book.

One of the things I really appreciated, was the use of research to support the fertility facts that are found throughout the book. For example, did you know that:

Eating spicy foods help regulate and balance your hormones?
Drinking sports drinks while you exercise actually reduces the number of fat calories that you burn?
Taking a birth control pill for a month in between cycles can improve success rates?

I also really liked the many surveys and questionnaires that helped me pinpoint the areas in my life that are not currently fertility friendly!

I found this book at my local library and would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a book that looks at fertility in a slightly different way.

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.
