Summary: A Disappointment, Overall
Comment: The only novel information in the book was on the studies linking a heavy yam diet with increased birth rate. I'd like to try the (true) yams (not sweet potatoes), but I haven't been able to find them (though I've gone to three health food stores). For people with already healthy diets and a reasonable understanding about fertility, the book will probably be a disappointment. Almost half its pages are devoted to recipes for yams, whole grains, tofu and the like. Your money is much better spent on Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. Good luck to all who are trying to have a baby!

Summary: Excellent Instructive, Educational, Easy to follow Book!
Comment: On a frustrated day I started to research in the internet aboutovulation and I came across with this book. The Infertility Diet..OnceI read all the customer "Positive" reviews I decided to buyit, I said to myself what do I have to loose. I've gone todoctors,laparascopies, etc... and they've told me that I havePCO. None of them were able to explain how the polycysts appear in myovaries,& the last doctor that I went told me that my overweighthas something to do with it. However, when I started to read this bookI was AMAZED! I believe in nature and God has created it with apurpose. All the things that Ms. Reiss explains in this book, examplemy case, no doctor "ever" told me the reason of PCO,and howare eating habits contribute to any disorder in our system, and shedid it very well. I just finished the book and I already told a coupleof friends who are trying to get pregnant, to buy it.In my opinion,this book very educational, and it is worth to have it in our own homelibrary. I congratulate those who have been able to conceive byfollowing Ms. Reiss' tips. Even though last December I had an ectopicpregnancy,(my tube got twisted around and the embrio was not going tobe able to travel to my uterus) I trust in God that by following allthese tips that Ms. Reiss has shared, will help us all to get pregnantsoon. Please be patient because it might not be over night, but itwill come. Some of the readers enjoying the results. Even though I'vebeen married for 8 years and a half and a miscarriage, I am not givingup for the next pregnancy to be achieved to term. I highly recommendevery one to purchase this book.
Good Luck and God bless you all!

Summary: Mixed feelings
Comment: I have mixed feelings with this book. I bought the book and have even tried following some of the recipies which are pretty tasty, however some of the ingredients (especially yams and Kelp) were difficult for me to find. However, after much searching I found them. I found some of the info to be too vague! For instance one minute she tells you the benefits of soy and in the next breath tells you not to consume to much! Well, how much is not too much? She recommends eating yams in the first part of your cycle before ovulation and not in the second half and not to consume dairy (or meat) products while trying to conceive but most of her yam recipies have dairy products in them!! Can you say contradictory? I emailed my question about this through her website but it was not answered at all!
Another thing is her yam recipies call for 4 yams or 6 yams or 1 yam. Well, I'd like to know where she purchased her yams because the true African yams that I found were 12"-15" long and weighed 8lbs-10lbs. Two tubers (yams) cost me $19.00! Not very practical to use 4 -6 per recipie! I wish she would have put some additional information in the back of her book or keep her web site updated but she doesn't do that either. I tried contacting the author (as was suggested in another review) but all of my questions were not answered or I'd get an answer that had nothing to do (I feel) with my question. Finally after my third e-mail I was told that Fern wasn't in the fertility business anymore. And, if you go on her website it hasn't been updated for quite sometime and the Website is really pushing other business ventures she is now in. It's an o.k. book but don't put all of your hopes into it, like I'm afraid I might have.
