Product Description

From Amazon.com

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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Exceptional and a Must have!, Mar 19 2006
By Dr. Barbara Catherwood (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Taking Charge of Your Fertility (Revised Edition): The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement, and Reproductive Health (Paperback)
I was deeply impressed and pleased with this book. I am a Ph. D in Sexuality and know a lot about fertility and conception. I absolutely agree that the information is essential especially for young women because it will put their mind at ease about several normal, physiological changes that happen within their bodies.

I also agree that the FAM method is better than the “rhythm method” and that’s why I highly recommend it to my female clients. I am happy that this great book becomes more and more popular. It is truly the “bible” when it comes to how the female body functions. I would like to strongly recommend in addition to it Alan Ritz’ “Scientifically guaranteed male multiple orgasms and ultimate sex”, which I believe is the equivalent of this book for the male body. Also if your husband has any sexual problems (premature ejaculation, low libido, (semi) impotence and even infertility he will find a lot of first class and science-based information in it. It is pleasure to highly recommend both bestsellers.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Informative!, Oct 9 2009
This is a book that EVERY woman should read! I originally bought it in order to learn about natural birth control and planning for a pregnancy but I have learned so much about how my body works! This is a book that I will keep for YEARS and share with my daughters once they are old enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars An education in My Biology, Sep 11 2009
By Rebecca Cameron (Edmonton, AB, CAN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I know not all womens bodies are the same and thanks to this book I was able to understand MY biology so much better. My husband and I had just started trying to have a baby and I was already feeling frustrated about how little control I had on the whole concept of conception. I had no idea about ovulation timing, even some basics I thought I knew were wrong. A friend had recommended this book and I bought it within the week. I started charting as I was reading the book and before the month was done I was pregnant. Now like I said not all women are the same but I do feel this book enlightened me to know that. The book discusses many problems women have with getting pregnant and I felt that if I hadn't have gotten pregnant the tools of charting would have helped me and my GP find out the problem and possibly treating it. I got an education that I will never forget and intend on recommending this book to as many women as I possibly can.
