Amazon.com Review:
This comprehensive book explains in lucid, assured terms howto practice the fertility awareness method (FAM), a natural,scientifically proven but little-known form of birth control (which isnot to be confused with the woefully ineffective"rhythm" method). Author Toni Weschler has been teachingfertility awareness for almost 20 years, and it's only just nowgaining in popularity. As the book explains, by using simple fertilitysigns including peaks in morning body temperature and changes incervical position and cervical mucus, it's possible to determine whenovulation is taking place. Fertility awareness is therefore useful fornot only couples who are trying to conceive, but for those who areaiming to avoid pregnancy without the use of chemicalcontraceptives. It will be of special interest to those women who havesuffered from infertility; many FAM practitioners have told the authorthat by filling in the detailed charts in the book, they've realizedthat they were chronically miscarrying, even when their doctors toldthem they weren't conceiving at all. As the book explains, by chartingbody temperature, it's simple to tell when pregnancy has occurred--andwhen there's danger of miscarriage. Taking Charge of YourFertility also explains how to choose the sex of your baby bytiming intercourse according to certain fertility signs. It alsofeatures thorough, easy-to-understand explanations of hormones, themenstrual cycle, and menopause, along with fertility tests andtreatments and their long- and short-term side effects, plus atopnotch resource section. Recommended for any woman who wants tobetter understand her body. --Erica Jorgensen

Rating: - BUY THIS BOOK!!!
A must read for ALL women.This is the "bible" for a woman's body.In easy to understand descriptions and broken down into well thought out chapters for easy reference later this book describes:monthly cycles and how yours may be different and why, how to chart your cycles easily and effectively, a natural birth control method that works, and how to get pregnant.Recommended highly from the women on theknot/nest/bump website and from several of my women friends.
Rating: - What should be taught in health clases, at least in college!
This is quite simply an amazing book. Look how many women (over 1000) have given it 5 stars. It is a book that lets you know what't going on with your body. One quick personal note, I have a rare blood disorder and my only means of contracptives for my husband and I are condoms, IUD's even have too much stuff for me. I plan to get a tubal, but I will be keeping this book forever. I have learned so much, I donated a copy to the library, hoping more women will be able to learn, even if they can't afford ...

Rating: - Great purchase!!
It's amazing how much I've learned about my body from this book! It answers so many questions about the changes our bodies go through every month. I would recommend this book to any woman! We all should know and understand how our bodies work regardless of what "stage" in our life we're in. Take charge, become educated, and you'll be amazed!
Rating: - Can't live with out it!
This is my Bible for my body and what to do. It covers hormones, nutrition, weird cycles... you name it, it's got it. My husband and I waited to have sex till after we were married. I started reading this pretty close to when we got engaged. I started charting, and love the power it gives me to understand what is going on. My husband and I really enjoy this as a contraceptive method and have been doing it for a year with 100% success (aka no unplanned pregnancies). It's good for people who just want to understand ...
