Editorial Review:

The first mind-body program that helps women and couples to discover and work through emotional and psychological barriers to conception, The Language of Fertility teaches methods of conscious fertility that can work with or without the assistance of your physician.

Niravi B. Payne is an internationally recognized pioneer in mind-body fertility therapy who has counseled hundreds of clients from all over the United States and abroad. Her clinical experience has shown that reproductive problems, including miscarriages, difficulty in conceiving, and low sperm count, are directly linked to attitudes, beliefs, and family dynamics that reach back into your childhood and affect your emotional life, your reproductive system, and your fertility today. Payne has adapted her sought-after Whole Person Fertility Programsm, which she teaches to other therapists and uses with great success with her clients, to make it available and accessible to readers for the first time in this book.

The Language of Fertility challenges the traditionally held view that problems with fertility are due to purely a medical condition to be treated with drugs and surgery. Niravi Payne explains how women's and men's bodies and minds can be so affected by generations of their family's beliefs and patterns of behavior that their natural fertility and ability to conceive can be blocked. Her unique techniques of self-analysis help women, men, and couples become conscious about how they need to change their minds and their lives to reclaim their natural fertility and conceive and give birth to a baby. Her methods are helpful at any time--whether used while undergoing medical reproductive treatments, between treatments, or independent of any medical treatment.

In the Whole Person Fertility Programs, Payne leads readers through the same exercises, family tree mappings, meditations, visualizations, and journal-writing that have helped her clients break through the emotional barriers to conception and have led them to heal their whole lives--whether or not pregnancy occurs. And she tells dozens of inspiring and compelling case studies from her own practice, in which her clients have healed their relationships to their spouses, siblings, and other family members, and as a direct result have been able to conceive.

The Language of Fertility also establishes a new way of thinking and talking about fertility that forever banishes the "too oldisms"  that many women in their thirties and forties often hear, including outdated and inaccurate terms such as "unexplained infertility"  and "old eggs."  Niravi Payne debunks ageist myths through an eye-opening exploration of the historical and sociological factors that profoundly affected the reproductive lives of the millions of female baby boomers who were able to delay childbearing. In addition, she allays the growing concerns of women in their twenties and early thirties who are waiting to have children until later in life and are concerned about their future ability to conceive.

By committing to the healing process of the Whole Person Fertility Programsm, you will increase your chances of conceiving and carrying to term the baby you long for. Whether or not you eventually do conceive, you will gain such immense emotional and psychological insight that you will reclaim your birthright as a whole, vibrant person.

Editorial Review:

In the twelve years since Dr. Grazi's first collection appeared, Be Fruitful And Multiply: Fertility Therapy and the Jewish Tradition, there have been huge advances both in medical techniques besides an evolving Halacha. Overcoming Infertility accounts for these advances, and will become an indispensable reference for observant Jewish couples who require fertility therapy, rabbis, and educators. While innovative technologies bring many new and difficult questions, advances in the field of infertility have brought happiness to infertile couples around the world. The demands of modern therapy may be at odds with the demands of Halacha, a situation both confusing and frustrating to couples and their physicians. Because many of the questions posed by such therapy are novel and without precedent, rabbis who are asked to deal with these questions are often at a loss for advice. For the rabbinic community, Dr. Grazi's book explains the basics of reproductive physiology and how it is manipulated in order to overcome infertility. A summary of recent Halachic discussions relting to the new reproductive technologies is also included. The detailing of the special psychological and social problems faced by observant couples who are grappling with infertility will be enlightening. The book suggests ways in which the medical and Halachic issues will be confronted, and resolved successfully. The joining of the physical and spiritual aspects of overcoming infertility will give couples the guidance and hope they need in order to pursue their most cherished goal.

Good book 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The book is pretty well written and it gives you enough information about miscarriages, however I prefer the way things are explained in the book Avoiding Miscarriage by Susan Rousselot.

Editorial Review:

One out of every three women age 18-45 has experienced a reproductive loss. Women experiencing miscarriage often receive no explanation for the cause of their miscarriage. The lack of advice regarding the future and what can be done to avoid another miscarriage is too often the case.

Miscarriage and the Successful Pregnancy will provide insights and answers regarding miscarriage. William P. Hummel, M.D., a nationally recognized Fertility Specialist, states "A significant number of miscarriages can be prevented. A thorough fertility evaluation should give all couples options to maximize a full term pregnancy."

Miscarriage and the Successful Pregnancy provides the psychological support of this devastating condition and offers constructive steps to take with your physician. It is the authoritative guide to miscarriage treatment and success of your next pregnancy.

Disappointed 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Dealing with almost ten years of infertility, I really thought this would be a book I'd breeze right through. Barna tends to speak only to IVF patients as she refers to the Lupron Loonies. What happened to the Clomid Crazies which I'm sure many more infertility patients can relate to? Not all infertility patients can afford IVF or even feel led to go down that road so I found her frequent mentions hurtful. I really did not laugh much. I expected to be laughing so hard I'd have to stop to wipe the tears or hold my sides but it was just a chuckle here and there. I found her wording to be difficult at times as if she was trying too hard for a laugh. Lastly, why is this book so much money? If you understand those of us going through infertility then you would also realize much of our money has gone to ARTs, adoption, HPTs, OPKs, doctor visits, surgery, tests, etc so where's the break? $20 could easily go toward a copay.

Great book for giving perspective to those on the outside looking in 5 out of 5 stars.

I have found this book to be very helpful in supporting and dealing with the emotions of my spouse as we go through our IVF journey. The book really helped me understand the delicate emotions of someone experiencing infertility and how comments like "relax", "stop worrying about it", etc. actually do more harm than help. As a result, I am much more supportive in this IVF cycles than I have been in other cycles because I changed the focus of my comments and have avoided saying the wrong thing.

Editorial Review:

Preconception Plain & Simple - A Deliciously Smart and Sexy Guide in Preparing for Pregnancy came to be born from my (Audrey’s) journey to have a baby! I wanted to nourish my body, mind, and soul with the proper steps to prepare myself, and my husband, to conceive a healthy child. I had seen too many women turn this wonderful time into a mechanical routine filled with stress and anxiety…I wanted to avoid that. I wanted to immerse myself in the magic and wonder of this time…to relax and have fun while letting nature take its course.

I asked my mother to share with me a few tidbits from her "time" – the mid-1970’s – but the quarter-century that had elapsed had brought so much more information and technology that she was as comically "clueless" as I was! So we embarked upon an unexpected journey, searching bookstores, libraries, and websites… looking for information on everything one needs to know about preconception.

We began to discover ways to promote fertility beyond the medical information, and I began to incorporate them into every aspect of my life; from fertility enhancing foods, flowers, aromas, gemstones and amulets, to spells and rituals used by different cultures to promote fertility. Sure, I still followed the medical advice, but I surrounded myself with the knowledge of the ages to create a nurturing environment, which allowed me to relax, have fun, and let the magic happen!

We wanted to share what we had learned with women everywhere by creating a guide for inviting fertility into their lives, and thus Preconception Plain & Simple was born - a one-stop resource for everything a woman needs to know about preconception.

Preconception Plain & Simple - A Deliciously Smart and Sexy Guide in Preparing for Pregnancy brings to women, men, and couples passion, romance, and fun… a thorough medical review and assessment of both hopeful Mom and Dad… and marvelous fertility wisdom to a topic that is all-too-often consumed with infertility statistics, clinical discussions, and fears of infertility. Preconception Plain & Simple offers and celebrates a perfect combination of the medical, the miracle, and the magic of baby making without the fears… but certainly including the fun and "relaxing" part of it all!

Happy baby making!

This is a book that any couple facing fertility issues must have. Couples who have been trying to get pregnant for some time—without success—experience a rollercoaster of emotions, and they often feel alone. Anxiety pervades their lives.

Endless tests, continual doctor visits, and loss of intimacy are common.

This Cleveland Clinic Guide gives couples what they need most: substantive information from a source that is trusted by people all over the world—The Cleveland Clinic. The Clinic is a renowned pioneer in treatments such as in vitro fertilization. But couples are drawn not just to the treatment, but to the manner of care and consideration that The Clinic provides. The Clinic’s experts understand what their patients are going through and know that with more information—like this Cleveland Clinic Guide—and education, they will understand they are not alone and that they can have hope.
