books and websites for TTC

[Anonymous]

Hi, One of my sweetest friends is embarking on the same journey DH and I took to conceive. In pulling together resources for her, thought I would share with the group. Please add to this.
Websites:
resolve.org - nation's largest infertility group. I love the local support groups, discussion boards and local seminars. Worth every penny.
fertileheart.com - tied to a book but has online ideas about eating, etc. and getting pg on your own
this one! (dcurbanmom.com)
Books:
Toni Weschler's Taking Charge of Your Fertility - highly recommend, this is one of the best. I didn't like the CD but the website was good. tcoyf.com
The Infertility Cure, talks about Chinese and acupuncture in trying to conceive. I found this difficult, but gave some tips I liked.
Fertility Diet
Is Your Body Baby Friendly?
Conquering Infertility
Waiting for Daisy by Peggy Orenstein - fun book about a woman who did conceive on her own, after IUI, IVF, adoption, etc. - very uplifting
TIA and Good Luck to everyone.

I found the book Inconeivable by Julia Indichova very helpful, but this is for a specific group trying to conceive and may not be the right book for everyone. Julia learned when she was 42 that she had an FSH of 42! Everu RE she went to told her her best bet was donor eggs. She decided instead to make lifesytle changes (diet, yoga, visualization, etc.) and in eight months she was pregnant naturally and had a healthy live birth. It's short, easy to read, and inspiring.

I loved www.fertilityfriend.com - great for tracking temps and there are several very active TTC forums.

I second PP! I've read quite a few books about fertility treatments and that one was by far the most helpful. I would highly recommend reading it (or at least the relevant parts) before your first visit with an RE.

I agree - I thought this book was very informative and I loved the author's sense of humor too.

We found fertilethoughts.com to be helpful when searching information about high FSH and clinics that would be open to treating diminshed ovarian reserve with something other than DE.
