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

This is a great book for anyone who is trying to conceive or just want to learn more about your body. It has so much great information. I read it cover to cover and started charting my BBT. I recommend this book!

Must have for anyone trying to have a baby by 30-something Mom (Las Vegas, NV)

This book is a must have for women who want to have a child and don't want to wait for it to "just happen". I used this book to conceive our first child. Within three months of charting I knew I was pregnant. By following the methods in this book I didn't take a pregnancy test, just charting my temperature for 30 days was enough. This book brought about such an empowering sense over my cycle; I highly recommend it to those who want to get pregnant and those women who don't. Even though I didn't chart for my second pregnancy I was fully aware of when I was ovulating and conceived with no issues. Great book!!!!

Great for Beginners by Annette Lee (Lake County, CA USA)

This is a great book for those who know nothing or very little about a woman's reproductive cycle. It is a great book for TTC beginners, or those looking to avoid conception naturally. If you already know how to do fertility charting and are looking for more in-depth knowledge about fertility and issues that effect fertility, this book may be a little too basic for you. But as far as the info covered in this book goes, it is right on point. I highly recommend it to those couples who are just beginning their TTC (trying to conceive) journey. It very likely will significantly reduce the time it will take to conceive- or at least learn whether or not conception is possible for you. Good luck!

This really, really works - buy it! by M. Rocchio

After "trying" for over a year (or what we thought was trying) my husband and I were quite frustrated. Like most women, I was taught that a typical cycle is 28 days long, with ovulation occurring on the 14th day. I consider myself to be an educated woman, (advanced degrees and all!) yet, upon reading this book, I was shocked to discover that I knew absolutely NOTHING about my own body. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. It's been a true eye-opener for us. I'm so happy to say that, after just 30 days of writing down my temperature each morning and tracking my body's "clues," we're pregnant! This book was amazingly well-written, easy to undertand, and detailed. Most of all, it honestly worked for us.

Interesting and Informative by Nicole Glazer (Cleveland, Ohio)

I learned so much from this book. It described the information in a way that wasn't dull and boring. I think it covered everything and I understood the subject matter pretty easily. I liked the visual examples to support the descriptions as well. I received the book very quickly and would purchase again.
