## Description

It Starts with the Egg: The Science of Egg Quality for Fertility, Miscarriage, and IVF (Third Edition) : Fett, Rebecca: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Scientifically researched but presented simply for easy reading - This book is so useful!! When you discover you have infertility complications, if you're anything like me, you go on a Google rampage looking up anything and everything that's supposed to help. Unfortunately it's very hard to weed out the rumours and old wives tales from the proven aids and so I found myself rattling like a maraca having taken up about 15 different vitamins/supplements. After my second unsuccessful IVF I was recommended this book by my acupuncturist and I wish I'd had it sooner. It's based on thorough academic research and gives clear, simple outlines of the various supplements etc which will make a difference - both positive and negative (I was horrified to learn some of the things natural food shops had suggested for me might actually be making things worse). It also provides ideas for lifestyle adjustments, such as switching household products which can be affecting your fertility, and diet recommendations (though you'd probably want a separate book for that, there are plenty available with recipe ideas for fertility-friendly meals). I'd only been making changes for about a month or 6wks when I fell pregnant naturally - I don't for a minute think this is entirely down to the book, I'm sure my recent IVF cycle and a big massive dollop of luck helped considerably, but I do believe this made a difference and I'm trying to continue with some of her suggestions throughout the pregnancy. Plus it made me feel I was doing something pro-active to help things along by trying some of the lifestyle changes like swapping toiletry brands etc. Overall, an easy read which has many valuable ideas.
Review: Very insightful book - I enjoyed reading this book and found it very helpful. I agree with the other reviews I read that say you have to step away from it at times because it can feel like you need to live in a protective bubble in order to get pregnant but overall a very helpful book. I added some of the supplements to my diet as well as reducing plastics/exposure to BPA by switching to glass food storage containers. If anything it makes you more aware of what you should and should not be doing based on your issues and even if you don't follow it perfectly, it is helpful to have in the back of your mind. I am 31 and have PCOS and I liked that the book recommended certain things for certain problems or different ages. You can read SO MUCH conflicting information on the subject of fertility/infertility and it is reassuring to know that all the info in this book is based on research and you can trust it. Too early to tell if it worked for me but I recommend it to my friends who are struggling to get pregnant due to various factors.
