Inconceivable, 20th Anniversary Edition: A Woman's Triumph over Despair and Statistics

This book was a turning point in my life. My pilgrimage towards my future child truly began after I read the Inconceivable for the first time. But I wanted to know more and I followed up with purchasing and reading the Fertile Female soon after. I finally found the Fertile Heart practice and have stuck with it for more than a year and a half. This time interval included me visiting Fertile Heart Studio in the beautiful Woodstock, NY, not one but two times. It will take me a while to list all the blessing that this book and this journey has brought me. But to the crux is the gift of shifting my thinking from a victim's point of view to someone who has a choice at every step of the way, and a choice of the way at every level. The deeper I go, the more I heal - sometime knowingly and often unknowingly.When I read Inconceivable, little did I know that it would lead me to this practice, and that this practice would help me in my work life too. But I am grateful that I found this book - somehow while I was desperate looking for someone or something to cure me whatever did or didn't ail me at the time. Thank you Julia for sharing this gem with the world. I don't want to be in the world where there isn't at least one person like you who is courageous and so compassionate.

This book was very helpful to me when I first tried to conceive my first child when I was 37, after trying for 4 years. This book is not a recipe or a miracle pill. What it did for me, was to open the possibility that there was hope beyond statistics and numbers. It helped me have the mindset that I could be empowered in my journey to become a mother, despite the challenges. I ended up becoming pregnant right as I was about to start IVF. Maybe it is a coincidence. Fertility involves many factors. I do believe that feeling empowered in my journey - a tough journey full of challenges - has been key for me. As I now face secondary infertility at 44, trying to have another child, re-reading the book (as well as Julia Indichova's other book The Fertile Female) has been a good reminder as I continue the journey to be empowered and find my own way. I would recommend checking out for yourself Julia's website Fertile Heart as it provided you with a community and additional resources. I wished that I had done it sooner. I don't have a guarantee for outcome. Yet, I know I feel more empowered, more hopeful, less alone.

I was so fortunate to find this book! It has absolutely changed my life. I read this book at a time of crisis, when the baby I hoped for was not arriving. Through the practice shared in this book, the crisis has turned into an opportunity and an invitation to grow and change. I started by reading this book, then I read the Fertile Female, which I also highly recommend. The author has tremendous integrity and her work has changed thousands of lives. She is committed to helping people who are suffering. Even a quick glance at the Fertile Heart website makes it clear how the practice has been a gift to so many... and responsible for the arrival of many, many babies whose parents dreamed of their arrival!!

I found this book when my RE told me my fsh was 10.5. End of the world.The book us a cute story of her journey but she won't tell you exactly what helped her. She tried a whole bunch of alternative remedies to lower her FSH which eventually went down from 42 to 21, but the month she conceived it was 30 if I am not wrong. This I believe is to prove that you can get pregnant with a high fsh.When she got pregnant finally, in the book I just started crying, not from happiness but from despair because that is not me.I am glad it worked for her and I wish it was as "simple" as that and I wish everyone had a happy ending like she did.She got pregnant in the 90s. If she was trying today she would have tried reiki and bodytlak as well.I know of another woman, one mom in my child's class, who had a similar story. failed IUI then failed IVF. Doctors told her her FSH is too high and her husband's sperm is useless. she tried and tried and tried during her fertile window She gave up. She already had 2 kids, she wanted a 3rd one. She got pregnant randomly, without trying during her fertile time, then she got pregnant again a few years later (was a oopsie) totally unexpected at the age of 46.There is hope.

I am a 34 year old woman who has been diagnosed with very low MIS/AMH and normal FSH. We had been trying to conceive for over a year when I had gone to see a FS. Although I am in the medical field myself I refused to believe that my chances of conceiving were low. I scoured the internet and medical journals for information which was not very positive. I came across Julia Indochiva's website (Fertileheart.com) and book. Although Inconceivable is about secondary infertility I still felt her struggles resonated with the core of how I was feeling: Some dispair, sadness, frustration about feeling out of control, and responsible for not giving my husband what he had hoped for. Both my husband and I read Inconceivable and felt like the book helped us take the necessary steps in taking control over our situation. Even though there was no guarantee that we would be successful, for the first time in this process we felt like we were doing everything we could in our power before reverting to western medicine to achive our dream of having a child. I am happy to say that we are now 26 weeks pregnant! This book may have not been an exact duplicate to our situation but it gave us the tools that we needed to renew hope. I highly recommend this book!

This book opened my heart to so many possibilities that I never thought existed. It’s been a long time since I’ve read such a life transforming piece like this. I’m so thankful to have found this book. I wish I would have found it years ago but the time wasn’t right. And now the time is. Great read full of great resources that you can implement today.

My husband and I spent 8 years trying to have a baby – naturally, with IUI, IVF, natural IVF – and then out of nowhere – after a few very painful early miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy and years of nothing along the way – I fell pregnant naturally at 42 (nearly 43) and now have a wonderful baby boy. Reading this book, when I was despairing at 40, led me to read Julia's other book 'The Fertile Female' (a more practical guide) and then to her phone support groups (I couldn't find anything like it in the UK) and workshop. I am writing this as I always found Christmas the most difficult time of the year and I hope someone reading this will take heart from this and read Julia's books which are full of wisdom and advice. For me finding her books and her support and guidance really made a difference.

I had been recommended this book by several friends so was interested to read it, but I can't help feeling cheated by it (and still feel annoyed a few days later having finished it!) Julia rushes through, I felt, everything she did. She covers what we already know in the infertility world: Visualization, Yoga, Supplements, Diet etc, but she never tells you exactly what she did/the amounts etc, which of course is what we want to know. Then the book suddenly finishes with her being pregnant and has an incredibly annoying (I felt) amount of success stories. Of course she wants you to sign up to her expensive course to find out more. All in all, left me feeling annoyed, not encouraged!

I absolutely loved this book. I purchased a lot of books on fertility but I found this one the most useful, because Julia has tried and tested a lot of things on her journey to getting pregnant, and this gives you a really useful insight into what to try. It's not a medical guide on getting pregnant, but it's inspirational and gives you hope, which sometimes I felt I needed more than a detailed breakdown of what was going on in my body. I had been trying to get pregnant for over 2 years, and then fell pregnant just before my 40th birthday, after implementing some tips in this book. I now have a lovely healthy baby, and couldn't be happier. I definitely credit this book for opening my mind to trying a new alternative way of getting pregnant, in the end I found I needed to see an osteopath, which is something I would never have even thought of doing.

Very good book

Wonderful book. I got a lot of strength from it. Its good to know there is always hope and I am not alone. I have taken on a lot of Julia's advice and have found her website very useful too.
