5.0 out of 5 stars Very accurate and factual, corrects misinformation., November 4, 1999
By A Customer
This book was the most accurate of the 3 I read. The most important information dealt with exact timing of intercourse (or IUIs) in order to conceive. Some of the information I had earlier was wrong, which actually could have prevented conception!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, detailed, fills in the gaps kinda book, April 22, 1998
By A Customer
This book answered questions I didn't know I had about getting pregnant, differing cycle problems and just all the amazing things that have to work together for a successful pregnancy and birth. I found answers on how avoid repeat miscarriages, and details on different procedures, medications and tests to determine probable causes of infertility. This book truly answers most all questions any couple could have on delivering a beautiful little baby.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book! Helped me determine my problem!, November 8, 2001
By A Customer
I have to disagree with some of the poor reviews. After trying to get pregnant for 2 years, I got this book and began following some of Dr. Silber's advice, on my own thought I had figured out what my problem was after charting my temperature and reading the chapter on that, and sure enough went to the Dr who diagnosed the problem I suspected I was having. I was started on Clomid and was pregnant a few months later!
