So what I absolutely don’t understand is why someone would write a guide on natural pregnancy when they themselves tried to get pregnant for nine years without success, then adopted two children, and now write a guide on how to conceive naturally. That just doesn’t make sense to me. Why write a guide about something you have no knowledge of and weren’t successful at? I’ve never seen anything so ridiculous. DNF
