Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement, and Reproductive Health (Revised Edition)
Toni Weschler
Rating: 5.0/5 Stars
Rank: 265
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 the
Paperback edition.
