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.

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018
I wanted to share my story with you because this book is magic and it works!!! After 2 months, I became pregnant naturally.

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!

My acupuncturist suggested this book. Dr Wu was her mentor. I figured this can't hurt following and trying if I really want a cild. At first I thought the diet would be difficult but now I am used to it and it doesn't phase me although I cant wait for the day to go back to eating all the good things I cant have right now! But its definitely worth it! Book is very reader friendly!

This is a helpful book for anyone with fertility issues. It has basic, common sense advice that makes you feel like you're gaining answers for bettering your body/mind/lifestyle in natural ways. There's no single answer for solving infertility, that is true, but this book could be an added tool for anyone searching for a pathway to getting pregnant.
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2009
I give this book 4 stars because it is a total life style change. I started this book but have to say that I did not finish it; I got pregnant while reading the book (yay!), but cannot attribute that to the book. The book is very interesting in its approach and the testimonials are inspirational to anyone that has struggled with infertility for any period of time. This approach, however, is a complete lifestyle change (and she acknowledges this in the book). Not only is it a lifestyle change but it is a polar opposite approach from anything you hear from western medicine. If you are struggling and frustrated, I highly recommend the book; however, it is not an "easy" way to get pregnant and I found it difficult to comprehend how I would implement all of her ideas (as she suggests you cannot do the program half-way because half-pregnant is also not possible). If you are motivated and willing to make some real changes, this is the book for you (and probably a 5 star)!

Excellent read and informative. It brings hope to those who are experiencing what was described in the book and has helped me change and understand my body better. I bought this book for myself but ended up give it to a friend that needed the information more than I do. Its a perfect gift to give to all women in all walks of life. You are gonna love it!

Much more recommend The Infertility Cure by Randine Lewis. As an acupuncturist myself who works with infertility with patients, I find the other one much more useful.

The best book i have read on this subject!!!!! Every future mum who cares about her body and health should read this book. My dietician who has been trained by international nutritionists recommended me a diet, which is 100% accurate with the content of this book. What a difference, once you put into practice. I wish I visit theirs clinic in USA. Until now ( it has been 3 months) I feel physically more healthy and have more energy and Im not cold( I refer to the book). I finally dont starve myself... I will update my review in few months.

Very informative book.
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
