Tone and Emphasis
The book presents in detail the options that are available. But more than that, it helps a couple sort out what methods they should consider based on what is right for "them," rather than highlighting only those approaches with the greatest success rates or the most reasonable costs.

- Preparing your body for pregnancy
- Adjusting your lifestyle
- Eating to conceive
