  • When to seek professional help (timing and red flags)

Why I Wrote the 3 Steps to Fertility Book

In 1996, shortly after I got married, I discovered I had been suffering with endometriosis. The consultant warned me that if I hoped to start a family, I should consider doing so sooner rather than later. I was given a 5% chance of having a baby. 

My story is shared by thousands of couples worldwide who learn that having a baby may not be as straightforward as they once believed. From that moment, I dedicated myself to understanding infertility — why it happens, and how both conventional medicine and complementary therapies may help couples increase their chances of conceiving.

"This book has changed my life and I'm not someone prone to exaggeration. I bought it having been trying for a baby for over a year. I had had several tests and been told I had hormonal problems. I'd been put on Clomifen for 6 months and that hadn't worked.

Reading the book was the first time I had ever heard of PCOS. I recognised so many of the symptoms that I asked my doctor if I had PCOS and she confirmed it. Since then I bought a couple of books on PCOS and joined Verity as recommended in the book. I have changed my diet to the low GI diet - similar to the diet detailed in the book.

The result is that aged 37, after almost 2 years of trying for a baby and having made an appointment at an IVF clinic, I am now 20 weeks pregnant - and very happy."

"This book is extremely detailed but it is also structured in a clear and colourful manner, which allows the reader to dip in and out of sections to refresh the memory or learn something new. I learned a great deal from reading it and intend to continue to refer to it for years to come.

The greatest lesson I think I learned from this book is that each infertile couple is unique and that what is good for one couple may not work for the next. It is important to keep an open mind, be willing to try anything and although easier said than done, try not to let the negative times weigh too heavily on your life.

I've now passed this book on to my dear friend and she has begun the three step process, with a renewed confidence and hope for the future."
