Career women, go-getters, ambitious... More and more of them know what they want in life and take no detours to get there. But when it comes to starting a family, things get complicated. Despite all the will and determination in the world, conceiving a child depends on several factors that are beyond the control of the aspiring mother and her schedule. In addition, the fierce desire to get pregnant can be a source of considerable stress and anxiety during the months of waiting. In this book filled with humor and, above all, useful information on fertility, psychologist and researcher Jean M. Twenge dissects and summarizes all the current studies on the subject, while addressing the emotional aspect of this waiting period. She sets out the essential elements of a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, supplements) to promote fertility in both men and women. It demystifies how the menstrual cycle works, the ovulation period, the different fertility and pregnancy tests available on the market and the best times to have sex. It also dispels certain myths about the links between age and fertility and about controlling the sex of the baby according to the time of conception. Above all, the author reassures women about their psychological state: it is normal to feel impatient, feverish, anxious, while waiting for the desired positive result. With this in mind, she also addresses the painful issue of miscarriages and fertility disorders that require a medical consultation. Funny, light and very practical, this guide will meet the needs of these impatient women who want an overview of all aspects of the issue (medical, psychological, sexual and social), but who do not have the time to read dozens of books on the subject.
