| This comprehensive book explains in lucid, assured terms how to practice the fertility awareness method (FAM), a natural, scientifically proven but little-known form of birth control (which is not to be confused with the woefully ineffective "rhythm" method). Author Toni Weschler has been teaching fertility awareness for almost 20 years, and it's only just now gaining in popularity. As the book explains, by using simple fertility signs including peaks in morning body temperature and changes in cervical position and cervical mucus, it's possible to determine when ovulation is taking place. Fertility awareness is therefore useful for not only couples who are trying to conceive, but for those who are aiming to avoid pregnancy without the use of chemical contraceptives. It will be of special interest to those women who have suffered from infertility; many FAM practitioners have told the author that by filling in the detailed charts in the book, they've realized that they were chronically miscarrying, even when their doctors told them they weren't conceiving at all. As the book explains, by charting body temperature, it's simple to tell when pregnancy has occurred--and when there's danger of miscarriage. Taking Charge of Your Fertility also explains how to choose the sex of your baby by timing intercourse according to certain fertility signs. It also features thorough, easy-to-understand explanations of hormones, the menstrual cycle, and menopause, along with fertility tests and treatments and their long- and short-term side effects, plus a topnotch resource section. Recommended for any woman who wants to better understand her body. --Erica Jorgensen Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

I heard great things from a friend with fertility issues, in the first couple years of my marriage.. before my husband and I ever tried to become pregnant. I found out right away that I knew very little about my body. I knew about when my monthly cycle was due to start every month, but nothing else beyond that. I felt both silly that I was so clueless, but suddenly empowered. I feel that I have information that many other women do not.
I can say that with the knowledge I learned from this great book, I got pregnant with my daughter the first month we tried. And though my son was not planned, I knew enough about where I was in my cycle to know I was going to get pregnant.. when he was conceived.

I am 36 yrs old and had been trying to have a second child for 6 months. I figured I knew when I was ovulating since I was able to concieve already. After 6 months, I was convinced that there was something wrong with me and went to the doctor. The doctor provided little advise other than I was probably timing it wrong or my spouse had low sperm count because he rides a bicycle. My friend had told me about this book and I bought it at once. Within in the first month of charting, I was pregnant. I really was timing it wrong. The ovualtion tests never worked for me, I was having sex AFTER ovulation. The book help me recognize the changes in my body and when to time sex if your spouse has low sperm count. This book is a must have for every women, whether you are trying to get pregant or NOT trying to get pregnant!

I could not put this book down. Inside I found everything I wanted to know about my body's cycle but did not realize I needed to know until I read the book. We have been trying to have a baby for 8 months now, with this book I now can recognize the ovulation signs, I ovulate at a completely different time then what is considered "normal" (at day 14). I showed up with a print out of my cycle at my Doctors, he too could see my ovulation pattern and found the book and software inspirational. This book and software package are a must have for any gal wanting or not wanting to have a baby ;)
