Fertility Boosters
6 Things You Might Have Overlooked
By Gena Hymowech
Indichova felt desperate. Still, she was determined to conceive. "I wasn't ready to pack it in," she says.
So Indichova began a self-healing regimen. She changed her diet, eliminating many items, including dairy, most meat and white flour. She also decided to work through some emotional issues. "I developed a number of imagery exercises that helped me," she says. "For example, I created one called 'An Inside Job.' I imagine I'm standing in the middle of a house. I hear voices coming from different parts of the house. These voices question whether or not I should have a child. They question whether I deserve one. I invite all these voices to join me in the living room and I face each of them."
Eight months after starting her program, Indichova conceived – naturally. She has since chronicled her struggle in the book Inconceivable: A Woman's Triumph over Despair and Statistics (Broadway Books, 2001). Today, she teaches others her methods in workshops.
While there's no definitive proof Indichova's methods work, her story does illustrate one very important lesson: Hope can be the best fertility booster of all.
