Summary: Excellent! I highly recommend this book.
Review: I recommend this book to anyone having trouble getting pregnant. I am a Registered Nurse, but I do not practice in the realm of fertility. I thought I was well versed in the human body, but the knowledge I gained from this book taught me otherwise. This book helped to ease some of my anxiety about being unable to conceive by teaching me about what happens to my body every month (Specifically, the three fertility signs). They don't teach you all of this in nursing school. I will also use this as a means of birth control in the future. This is very well written and easy to understand. It will be used as reference material for years to come.

Summary: This book is a must for ALL women!
Review: For years, doctors told me that I would have to put up with side-effects of the Pill or barrier methods of contraception. After reading Toni Weschler's amazing book, I'm both fascinated with the new knowledge of my body and angry that no doctor has ever told me about the Fertility Awareness Method. Ms. Weschler explains in easy-to-understand terms why a woman's cycle is the way it is. She helps the reader to understand all the clues that add up to her most fertile days of the month. The information in this book has allowed me to see my body and it's cycles in a whole different way. My fertility is no longer a big mystery! I'm recommending it to my mother, all my girlfriends, and any daughters I might one day have!

Summary: Absolutely understandable book about the woman's body
Review: I read this great book few months ago (I'm 28), and got so angry that nobody bothered to explain to me earlier how my body works. I sincerely doubt that any woman which never read this book knows what REALLY goes on in her body cycle after cycle. My cycles are 35 days "long", and I had some problems getting pregnant, but after reading this marvellous book, it took me three cycles to concieve. I'm two months pregnant, and happy as can be to finaly understand what's happening to me every month, and what are those "things" coming out of me. This book should be recommended in schools!

Summary: Great for pregnancy achievers and as a birth control.
Review: This book was given to me by a friend just before my marriage. I took 3 days to read it, and belive me, it is one of the most significant books I've read in my life. Toni Weschler explained everything so clearly that I have been using this method as birth control for 2 years with such a peace of mind. Both my husband and me are very happy using it. I lent this book to a friend who was tired of the IUD and it changed her life, then she used the method to get pregnant and got it the first time.

Summary: Comprehensive, practical, ACCURATE information
Review: Top-notch reference, both for contraception and pregnancy achievement. As a woman with erratic menstrual cycles, I used Toni Weschler's clear, sensible instructions to avoid pregnancy for 18 months. When the time was right, I became pregnant right away -- again, using Weschler's fertility-awareness method. But "Taking Charge" offers so much more: by charting your cycles, you can gather a wealth of information about your overall fertility. If you do have trouble conceiving, this monitoring can be invaluable to you and your doctor as you develop a treatment plan for infertility. On the other hand, if you become pregnant, you can monitor the status of your early pregnancy -- without having to buy all those home pregnancy tests. How wonderful it is to KNOW what is going on!

Summary: The most helpful book about women's bodies!!!!
Review: I never expected to get as much information about my body as I did from this book. I was able to put the information to use right away and did get pregnant within three months after reading Taking Charge of Your Fretility. I plan on using this same information for birth control in the future! If you want to get pregnant or want to avoid an unwanted pregnancy BUY THIS BOOK!!! I would have paid five times the cover price for the information that it contained.

Rating:
Summary: Required reading for ALL women!!!
Review: Like everyone before me who has reviewed this book, I cannot praise it enough.It's more than a how-to get pregnant or not get pregnant book.It taught me so much about my body that I should have known when I was a teenager, but nobody ever taught me (or you!).If you menstruate, you should read this book. And so should your doctor.

Rating:
Summary: Informative, interesting and well written!
Review: I discovered this book at my local library and once finished reading it, I ran out to buy my own personal copy! I had be trying for about 8 months to get pregnant and within 6 weeks of reading Toni's book I had some very happy news!!! I have also passed it on (with 3 successful pregnancies following!!!) I would recommend this book to all ladies, whether trying to conceive or not. It is the most informative book about MY body I have ever read. Things that I always knew were normal "for me", were finally explained. Buy this book!!!

Summary: intelligent and on target answers to all my questions
Review: Although this is my first month of charting I feel as though I have a grasp on how my body works and I feel less afraid of the unknown. I am hoping to get pregnant and I'm confident that I will soon. Thanks to Toni's wonderful information I know that my body is working just as it should. If you want a book that will be honest about what to expect and when to suspect a problem this is for you.
