Product Description
A memoir of hope for the thousands of women struggling with infertility, from one who beat the odds by simply tuning in to her body and tapping her well of sheer determination.
At a time when more and more women are trying to get pregnant at increasingly advanced ages, fertility specialists and homeopathic researchers boast endless treatment options. But when Julia Indichova made the rounds of medical doctors and nontraditional healers, she was still unable to conceive a child. It was only when she forsook their financially and emotionally draining advice, turning inward instead, that she finally met with reproductive success. Inconceivable recounts this journey from hopeless diagnoses to elated motherhood.
Anyone who has faced infertility will relate to Julia’s desperate measures: acupuncture, unidentifiable black-and-white pellets, herb soup, foul-smelling fruit, even making love on red sheets. Five reproductive endocrinologists told her that there was no documented case of anyone in her hormonal condition getting pregnant, forcing her to finally embark on her own intuitive regimen. After eight caffeine-free, nutrient-rich, yoga-laden months, complemented by visualization exercises, Julia received amazing news; incredibly, she was pregnant. Nine months later she gave birth to a healthy girl.
Unlike the many infertility books that take a clinical “how to” approach, Inconceivable simply professes the wisdom of giving expert status back to the patient. Julia’s self-discovery, and her ability to see her body as an ally once again, yield a beautiful message about the importance of honoring the body’s innate powers, and the power of life itself.

 Great book, proof that will can change things March 19, 2010
Fotini (Athens, Greece)
This book really emphasizes on how human will can really change things. Being an IVF patient my self I think that this book makes you more optimistic and shows you new routes on how you can improve your fertility and through this process even turn you into a more healthy, optimistic and complete personality. I strongly recommend it to everyone that goes through this difficult journey called infertility and IVF treatment.
 Good but not a "how to" book by any means December 28, 2009
A. Mack (South Carolina)
As someone with many fertility problems myself and still no baby, i really identified with some of the things in the book. Since she suffered from secondary infertility and already had a baby at home, I couldn't identify with her completely. I think this is definitely a memoir and not a "how to" book on getting pregnant. She does say that in the book, that her method is completely her own and it won't work for everyone. The only thing I didn't like about the book was her unfortunate experiences with holistic practitioners, I realize it was just her experience but she made it sound like most people practicing ancient and holistic arts are crooks. I found myself happy she was able to add to her family but overall I didn't feel like the book did much for me as a woman in my 20's with PCOS. If you are suffering from secondary infertility and/or high FSH numbers then this book is for you.
 Good stuff. December 15, 2009

This book had a lot of good life changing information in it. Easy to read. It will help shorten the route for some who are on the same journey. I highly recommend reading this book.
Uplifting November 5, 2009
Jacqueline (Silver Spring, MD)
A much needed book that can uplift, inspire and boost the moral of anyone needing encouragement to continue their quest toward becoming a parent. Julia's determination to not give up her longing to bring a second child to this world gave me the courage to continue my own struggle to conceive my first child. I was pretty much at the end of my rope when I came across that book. I had been trying to conceive for seven years and time and lab numbers were not on my side. Like Julia I was in my 40s with rising FSH levels, the doors were closing on me pretty fast since unlike her I had never conceived before. There were plenty of experts and information reminding me of my close to zero chances of conceiving. Her book was a living proof that yes it can be done and yes I should keep pushing toward my goal. Like her I also conceived a healthy baby against these odds. This book gave me the courage to stand up to my doctors and convince them to at least try. It paid off handsomely, I conceived a healthty baby boy by IVF at 42 with a FSH levels of 22. The simple truth of knowing and listening to your own body is often lost in the "experts" rush against a woman's biological clock. This book reminds us of our connection to nature and the imbalance we can create by loosing touch with mother earth and the mom in us. I highly recommend it.
Miraculous! August 20, 2009

My husband and I started working with Fertility Doctors in January 2008. It was a soul destroying and heartbreaking journey. We worked with 4 different Doctors and after having been told we could not be treated we discovered Julia's website and proceeded to read her books. Julia's books provided us with hope as well as a natural course of action that empowered us to feel better about our situation. I immediately followed her recommended diet and felt better within a few weeks. I also started acupuncture. My husband and I attended Julia's seminar on May 18th 2008 and we left there feeling better than we had in months. We found out we were pregnant on June 10 2008 and I delivered our son Aidan on January 2009, a healthy, beautiful boy!!!!!
