"Psychology professor Twenge (Generation Me) cuts to the chase in
this wonderful (and often humorous) guide to getting pregnant—and
fast. The author explains that when she was trying to conceive, she
read everything she could get her hands on—and found that much of
the commonly accepted information was false. She decided to set
matters straight and help women get pregnant as quickly and
effortlessly as possible. Twenge takes a active and confident
approach from the get-go, assuring women that if they use her
methods of “fertility awareness,” there’s a good chance of getting
pregnant on the first try. She offers three ways to determine the
time of ovulation: charting, ovulation predictor kits, and
fertility monitors, advising that the “Very Impatient Woman” use
all three. Twenge details the vital importance of timing, citing
research on the best days—and hours—to procreate as well as to
synchronize ovulation with the chances for a boy or girl. This is a
fine science, indeed, but Twenge explains her approach with clarity
and precision. She debunks the myth that a relaxed attitude affects
outcome and shoots down outdated statistics (e.g., oft- cited
research about the fertility of women over 35 culled from birth
records from France in the 1600s). Women hoping to conceive will
swiftly find very helpful information in this manageable,
informative, and entertaining guide." -- Publishers Weekly
