Product Description

Award-Winning Finalist in the Women's Health category of the Best Books 2006 National Book Awards!

Nine million couples suffer the shattering effects of infertility. Unable to create the families they so dearly want, they feel isolated, depressed, and blameworthy, and fall prey to despair, which can make conception less likely and ultimately threaten even the strongest marriages.

Confronting infertility head-on, Dr. Matthew McQuaid and his wife, Michelle, grew to understand it as an obstacle that was as much spiritual as it was scientific. Adopting mind/body medical techniques such as meditation and yoga, they developed a state of profound well-being, relaxation, and unwavering faith. Eventually, their devotion was rewarded in the birth of their son Luke. Now, the McQuaids' well-earned formula for success is offered to other couples who hope to overcome infertility and create miracles of their own.

"Plenty of books focus on medical issues: this one focuses on the spirit, from reducing the stress associated with infertility and using mind/body techniques to improve medical outcomes, to undertaking emotional and spiritual changes that can lead to health improvements and fertility. Dr. Matthew McQuaid offers all the keys to emotional health, and connects them to fertility improvement, making it a "must" for any with trouble starting a family." - California Bookwatch

"Regardless of where you are on your journey with infertility, the reduction of stress and the realization that you need emotional care as well as physical care can be a great turning point for many couples. This book is very helpful in all of these respects." - Kim Elise Goldman, About.com

Not as good as others
This book tries to pull from other theories but is not complete on any.
More useful books are by Alice Domar and others that have proven track records. Not recomended.
