Pathways to Pregnancy is a collection of wide-ranging and relatable
stories, shared by an expert who also knows first-hand the pain and joy
of the fertility journey from her own experience. Instructional and
inspirational to anyone going through it or seeking to understand it
deeply and in all its variations, these are real stories of hope and
humor -- and some practical advice that is often overlooked but easy to
incorporate into your life. These stories about real women, related by
Mary Wong with both compassion and authority, retain many of the
subjects' own words and particular perspectives.
Through their stories, Mary explains the central principles of fertility
treatment by both Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners and Western
doctors. Each story focuses on a set of archetypal challenges or life
situations found in patients seeking fertility treatment. In this way,
the book serves as a comprehensive examination of the spectrum of
infertility experience, expressed through the lens of highly personal
anecdotes and intimate experiences.
