Alright, you’ve heard me raving about this book so much I thought I should explain why.
When me and my husband first started trying to get pregnant nothing was working. My story is not quite the same as Beth’s, I had never been pregnant and then miscarried, the trouble seemed to be getting pregnant in the first place. After a few months of trying I started asking myself ‘why am I not getting pregnant?’ and ‘can I get pregnant at all?’ Both the questions, at the time, seemed to be a resounding no.
After countless hours of rummaging through what felt like hundreds of internet sites I found Beth’s and instantly felt connected to her through shared experiences. I was very interested in her book but was a little dubious as to the validity of all the testimonies on her page but after having used the product I am completely convinced. You can see other peoples testimonies here.
For everyone out there I thought I should add my weight to her testimonies and give you a breakdown of her book.
Personal Path to Pregnancy is split into 7 chapters, each of which focuses on a different topic and develops the steps you can take to maximise your chances of getting pregnant.
- The first chapter starts off with Beth’s story. It shows you that she is a real women who had avery hard time conceiving which led her to write the book. It goes on to discusses the state of mind required to get pregnant and carry a baby and discusses the changes that will affect you throughout your pregnancy. A vital principle which many people, myself included, often overlook.
- Chapter two is what Beth calls her ‘Pracnancy ABC’s’. The very basic principles of pregnancy covering issues such as ‘Can I get pregnant?’ and ‘Why am I not getting pregnant?’. The book looks at both the male and females role in pregnancy and how to get pregnant starts introducing unconventional ways to get pregnant.
- In chapter three the book looks at ovulation and how the timing of a womans cycle means everything. It also looks at the changes over time to a males sperm (not quite a true cycle and so many people never consider it) and Basal Metabolic Temperature (BMR).
- Chapter four covers lifestyleand dietary changes that can be made to really increase your chances of becoming pregnant. From learning which vitamins and minerals will enhance chances of pregnancy (for instance Vitamin C has to be largely avoided – its historically been used in high doses to abort pregnancies) to learning to regulate body mucus production and its acidity, Path to Pregnancy covers it all.
- Chapters five and six are the real body of the book amounting to about 60% of the advice given. Building upon the ideas from the first four chapters the book goes on to talk about hundreds of aspects of your life which can easily be changed. Some of the many topics covered are; hostile environments, over the counter suppliments and whether they really increase chances of becoming pregnant, health issues which affect pregnancy chances (previous miscarriages or even the common cold!) and issues to worry about once you’ve conceived; stretch marks and a week-by-week guide to pregnancy to name just a few.
- Chapter seven is just a summary but it states something that I think we should all remember. Beth believes that, to put it simply, the answer to ‘how to get pregnant?’ is not a simple one. There are many different methods, of which I believe all the ones which actually work have been included in this book. You now just have to find the one which works for you.
I used all of the advice gleaned from her book to change some very simple aspects of my life and after just 3 weeks I conceived my first child. I re-used the book when trying for our daughter and was once again successful after just a few weeks. I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to get pregnant, whether you’ve been trying for months or weeks this book will give you all the knowledge you could need in order to maximise your chances of conception.
