Amazon.com 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

 Didn't know that I didn't know. November 19, 2008
This is a great comprehensive book! I learned a lot of information about my body that I was unaware that I didn't know. Why isn't this anatomy information taught in high school health?
Great! November 10, 2008
I have only had this book for a short time, but it has already been very helpful. It is simple and informative. Exactly what I was hoping for so I am very pleased.
excellent book!! November 2, 2008
Hey, this book has soo much more information that i ever thought a book could hold!!! Pictures in the book are graphic, but extremely helpful!!
Valuable information November 2, 2008
I'm amazed at how much I didn't know about my body. This is full of very valuable information. I wish I would have discovered it years ago. A friend recommended it to me because I shared my desire to get pregnant. This is the kind of information that young women should be exposed to in school. It might help them avoid unwanted pregnancies if they knew more about timing and natural signs that their bodies give them each month. I will certainly recommend it to my daughters.

Hi! I did not read this book yet but my close friend Brandy said that THIS BOOK IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ!
I have a baby now who is 6 months old and the method described in this book looks very interesting. Also, sounds like a hilarious read with some good facts about understanding your body. Nothing like a book with some good humor in it.
PS- Brandy is pregnant!
