They say knowledge is power and with power comes some control. Control is something you lack when faced with fertility problems. So in order to give myself a little control back [and plenty of knowledge/ power] I've been doing some reading.
Fertility (60 Tips)
Is a compact little book that I found in the library. It does exactly what it says on the cover and gives you 60 tips for improving your chances of conceiving. It's an easy to read book, nicely laid out and illustrated.
A taster of 60 Tips for Fertility
It includes tips such as;
- Eat better, Eat well - eating enough, but not too much.
- Take Vitamin B12 to produce an adequate amount of healthy red blood cells in bone marrow.
- Try Acupuncture, it can help to increase fertility by restoring the flow of energy it relieves the effects of 'blockages'
- For men; take care when on a bike, mountain biking can damage the scrotum.
- Realise the value of yoga, it can help to centre you and your desire for a child.
And many many more...
As well as value and interesting tips the book is littered with case studies of scenarios that have affected reproductively challenged couples which are useful.
The other book
I am also ready is Trying to Conceive [The Irish Couple's Guide] by Fiona McPhilips. This one is a little more intense, technical and slightly harder to dip in and out of. I'll admit that I have only glanced over this one once or twice but I plan on reading it more in depth now.
I need something to take my mind off my other little health scare and I am hoping that 'Trying to Conceive [The Irish Couple's Guide] will fill me with positivity and direction that it wont be to the forefront of my mind.
