Overall, this is a good read. However, I find that some information are written redundantly all throughout the book, though the author might just want to reiterate to the readers that the facts presented here are based on researches done by fertility experts from all over the world; some proven and others are still under study. Still, I feel like it is unnecessary to repeat the similar information in almost every chapter when more examples or situations should have been added instead. Melatonin supplements - only helpful in IVF as can make it more difficult for fertility in long term She also discussed supplements to take. I particularly appreciated the section on what supplements to avoid, because I have tried just about everything out there. Like, if someone once said in passing from an obscure or even totally made up source, I’ve probably tried it.

For the basics, my favourite is Michel Roux’s Eggs. The French take their eggs very seriously, as allegedly demonstrated by the 100 pleats in a chef’s toque representing the number of egg dishes they need to master. Roux’s book is a masterclass on all the classic French ways of serving eggs (I love the section on baked eggs) as well as doing a good job of demystifying soufflés, crêpes and anything made with custard. When you’re beginning a new, scary process like trying to conceive or when you receive a difficult diagnosis, like infertility, it’s easy to fall for expensive, pseudoscientific advice. I’m the most skeptical person on the planet, but even I got scammed by my dentist before I found out that my jaw pain was caused by thyroiditis and not by a “reverse swallow.” Just… be careful out there.

What’s wrong here? First of all, there’s an ongoing debate in the IVF community whether or not people with DOR have lower quality eggs or just fewer eggs. It probably depends on a lot on the patient’s age and her medical conditions. Rebecca Fett does have autoimmune arthritis (that’s why she used a surrogate), but she was also only 26 when she started TTC. As far as I can tell, she and her husband never tried naturally. They always knew they'd use a surrogate. I have a hard time believing that her doctors told her she was “unlikely to conceive with her own eggs” with a full stop. Perhaps they said she’d be unlikely to conceive “if you wait until you’re 35” or “your odds of needing donor eggs are higher than the average woman your age.” Or even if her initial diagnosis of DOR was a fluke. (This can happen if you’re on birth control when you get tested.) take supplements (this applies more to IVF/TTC) but in general: vitamin D, C, E, dha (omega 3), even IF you have "normal" levels. If doing egg things, CoQ-10 (ubiquinol), R-alpha lipoic acid, NAC, DHEA (maybe), folate/prenatal.
