Fertility Wisdom: How Traditional Chinese Medicine Can Help Overcome Infertility Paperback – Illustrated, September 5, 2006
Purchase options and add-ons
Introducing the only clinically proven program―steeped in ancient Chinese healing traditions―that has enabled hundreds of infertile couples to conceive.
At Wu's Healing Center in San Francisco, miracles are happening. Women and their partners come to the clinic―often from across the country-- to fulfill a passionately held yet fragile dream: to conceive and deliver the healthy baby that mainstream doctors have told them they cannot have. Using traditional Chinese medical techniques, sometimes integrated with Western fertility treatments, Dr. Angela Wu is helping these couples experience the miracle of birth.
In this book, Dr. Wu details a proven 6-part self-care regimen that helps create the internal harmony and balance vital to conception. Her techniques not only enhance the results and reduce the side effects of in vitro and other Western fertility treatments, they also shorten labor and speed postpartum recovery. Babies benefit too, adopting regular sleep patterns more quickly and getting sick less frequently.
At a time when one in five U.S. couples is struggling with fertility problems, this practical and uplifting volume, filled with the inspirational stories of Dr. Wu's grateful patients, will be a godsend.

I am 42 years old, never been pregnant, and was diagnosed with premature ovarian reserve at age 36. This September I got my hormones tested, and everything was wrong. My AMH levels were in the pre-menopausal level and my FSH was 15.5. I was devastated. I ordered this book based on the reviews I read, started acupuncture on a weekly basis, and took herb supplements along with vitamins. I figured I would try to regulate my hormones with supplements/naturally before I went to the fertility doctor and started the injections. I made an appointment for December.
I started to read Fertility Wisdom, and loved it because the book gave me hope. She talks about patients who had high FSH and other issues who succeed in having natural pregnancies. Moreover, her philosophy is essentially that any woman who still gets her period has the capacity to become pregnant naturally if she harmonizes and balances her whole body.
For one month, I followed Fertility's Wisdom's diet and nutritional tips (along with acupuncture and herbs), and a month later (December) I was pregnant! Please give this book a shot and be open to her ideas, as strange as they may appear because she is definitely on to something!! I am still following her diet, as she recommends to do throughout the first trimester. Good luck and message me if you want further info!

I went to see a TCMDR for fertility issues who gave me a list of things to eat and not eat as well as a bunch of stuff to do that didnt really make sense to me, He recommended I read this book to understand more of why I was doing these things.
This book is informative and I got my first positive pregnancy test last week...am over the moon.
At first I thought TCM was a little coocky, but I can say that there is a method to the madness <3
