Dr. Niels Lauersen, the top medical researcher who wrote Listen to Your Body (more than one million sold) has listened to couples everywhere. The result is one of the most comprehensive books ever published on fertility--the problems, the perils, and the possibilities.

From the Publisher 

GETTING PREGNANT is the ultimate resource book for couples wanting to start a family. Authors Lauersen and Bouchez map out all the basics for improving your chances -- from basal thermometers to proper diet -- and add tips for improving your baby-making skills. They also explain fertility testing and provide hopeful information for couples who are having trouble with conception. I think it's the most reassuring guide around. And I know several couples who point to this book (especially the "Dozen Ways to Encourage Natural Conception" section as the one that helped get them pregnant.

Overcoming Infertility May Be Easier Than You Realize 
One of the biggest surprises we had, as authors, was in discovering how many people were unaware of the simple changes they could make in their diet and lifestyle to overcome their fertility problems. We were , in fact, thrilled by the number of couples who contacted us following the publication of Getting Pregnant, to say that they followed our advice, and that the simple changes we suggested were enough to help them cross the road from infertility to parenthood. Of course, there are some very specific fertility related problems that do require medical assistance ; still, in many instances, infertility is, in fact, the cumulative effect of simple, everyday factors that each of us has the power to change. In this respect "Getting Pregnant" is a truly complete guide - offering you information about virtually all your fertility options, from the most natural to the most technlogically advanced. If this book has already helped you - please let us know. If you are about to buy this book please take with you our most sincere wishes of luck and happieness in your search to realize your parenting dreams. Remember, miracles can happen, and they can happen to you.

It Worked!
A friend recommended this book and I'm glad she did. After only six months I was pregnant and now have a beautiful baby boy. I've now recommended this book to another friend as a must to read before even trying to get pregnant.

A Terrific Book - Very Well Written
I purchased this book on recommendation from my doctor - and I couldn't have been more pleased with all that it taught me. I have beent rying to get pregnant for some time and my doctor said this book would help me,and he was right ! I followed a lot of the advice and was able to conceive within 6 months. I had read other books by Dr. Lauersen which were okay, but this is definately his best. It's no wonder it made it to the Dream Library!
