Editorial Review:
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

Rating: - Not just for women TTC, for all women!
This book IS NOT just for women who are trying to conceive a baby ~ this book is for women ~ period. I purchased this book after having a great deal of trouble coming off birth control. I was scared and confused about what was going on with my body and this book was recommended to me by someone on a message board.
I've read the book cover to cover and have re-read certain sections several times ~ yes, its that good. The book itself is really informative and reviews information we ... Read More
Rating: - Recommended for every woman who is TTC
I'm in my early thirties and I got pregnant the first month I charted after trying for over a year. I cannot recommend this book enough. If you're serious about wanting to learn more about your body or finding a way to get pregnant naturally then this is the book for you.
Rating:  - Good detailed book
I wish I had gotten a hold of this book sooner. I realised that I have been trying on the wrong day. Good book, gives a lot of detail.
Rating:  - Don't use this book for birth control
I decided to use this book for birth control while searching for a doctor who would put an IUD in a nulliparous woman. I had problems with the pill and an allergy to latex. I followed the directions for how to avoid perfectly. I still don't know how I got pregnant and I was too embarrassed that i had used such a ridiculous method to show my charts to my gyno. Definitely consult with a health care provider before using FAM for birth control
Rating: - Excellent resource of information
I have already talked about this book to friends and they have quickly purchased this book. It is extremely educational. I come from a health background taking A&P and learning an extensive amount of info but none to this extent on the subject. It is good if you are a teen to the peak of menopause. It really is a good read. My sister has been having trouble with getting pregnant and miscarriages. She said after reading the first chapter... "No wonder I haven't been able to get pregnant" Just ... Read More
