subject: The Way To Conquer Infertility [print this page]


For women, infertility issues can be very devastating that can lead to depression, stress, breakdown and worse, marriage failure.

As this debilitating condition continues to wreak havoc in the relationships of over nine million American couples every year, Harvard psychologist Alice Domar ushered in her book entitled "Conquering Infertility" to give infertile couples hope, support, and most especially stress relief from what they are going through.

Domar, who has been tagged by Vogue as the "Fertility Goddess", aims to help women to redeem their lives at the same time increase their chances to conceive.

Published on February 24, 2004, "Conquering Fertility" will aid women to recuperate and deal with infertility in a more positive manner and to help them develop a happy life without the extra disheartening baggage.

This 320-page paperback, which was written by Domar, who is an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard and co-written by a freelance writer named Alice Lesch Kelly, offers a self-help manual for women suffering from infertility issues as well as a handful of useful tips to cope with the feelings of failure, treatments, and the feeling of envy towards women who have successfully given birth.

This book is definitely what childless parents should have to be able to conquer the stress and depression that comes with the condition. The book cited results of case studies and researches that indicated that tension and depression that is triggered by infertility condition can aggravate the situation and will further impede a successful pregnancy.

Through the "Conquering Infertility" book, Domar explains in detail how unproductive couples can defeat the emotional and sexual anxieties that is common to arise around the issue of infertility.

What makes this book different from other books discussing about infertility issues is that it focuses on the emotional aspect of being infertile and how women with infertility problems can actually cope in a fertile world, thus the apt title "Conquering Infertility."

The authors of this book stressed mind-body techniques that could help couples settle emotional issues at the same time manage their own lifestyles, mend relationships with families and friends, and their careers, and not be too hard on themselves every time a treatment fails.

Instead of merely focusing on the medical treatments related to address infertility, Domar's book dwell more on the emotional pain, the anxiety and the stress that come with infertility.

In other words, this book seeks to bring back a couple's positive view towards life by advocating a positive approach towards the condition through self-nurturing.

And not only that, it goes the extra mile of presenting possible options for couples to finally move on with life such as considering adoption, donor eggs, or decide to remain childless for life.

Although this book does not promise a cure to infertility and neither does it give the reader false hopes of achieving pregnancy after reading it, it is a must-read and highly recommendable book for those who are suffering from infertility related conditions.
