Making babies

Dr. Sami David and co-author Blakeway lay out a three-month plan for women who want to conceive. The authors begin by sorting readers into groups based on what they call fertility types, then explain how to spot the underlying causes of difficulty conceiving.

The book also looks at everyday habits, showing how changes in lifestyle can improve a woman's chances. It goes beyond standard treatment, describing unconventional approaches such as cough medicine, lower doses of fertility drugs, and acupuncture used alongside IVF.

The authors write for women who are trying to conceive, whether through natural means or with medical help. They present their approach as an alternative to today's heavily surgical, chemical, and technology-driven fertility care.
