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

Average Rating:
Rating: - Every woman should have this book.
I bought this book because I saw so many positive reviews. I should say also that I hold a biology and biochemistry degree and am a med student. I didn't think there would be much to learn from this book, boy was I wrong. This book is nothing like what you'll learn in a text book, the information is far more detailed (in a very easy to understand way) and I learned a few things I know I'll never learn in med school. I think that every woman should have a copy of this book. I'm going to purchase copies ... Read More

- Don't bother with the website the book supports
The book is pretty good but do not bother with the website for support.The admin that runs the boards is very un cooperative and un helpful.At one time it was a pretty good site but as of late it's the pits!

- Book is good, Online Site is horrible
The book is great.
But the online support and message board are awful.
Avoid.
Rating: - New Perspective on Birth Control and Conceiving
For years, I've switched between different methods of birth control and struggled to find one that minimized synthetic chemicals but was safe and effective. This book provides a solution that requires no chemicals or devices and is safe and effective. This book was a truly wonderful find for me! I started out using it as a method of birth control, and most recently as a method to conceive. Both were successful!!!
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.
