Rating: Summary: UNDERSTAND YOUR FERTILITY CYCLE Review: This easy-to-read book tells women, step-by-step, how to understand and chart our body's signals to figure out when we can and cannot get pregnant. This is a non-religious approach to natural family planning, and includes instructions for using the method with a condom or diaphragm.
Women can also use this book to figure out the best time to conceive. Other side benefits include: a better understanding of mood swings and other physical and emotional changes that accompany our menstrual cycle; and heightened awareness of abnormalities in our cycle.
The simple writing style and plethora of pictures and diagrams make this a fun, interesting, and very useful book.
Rating: Summary: Much lent out Review: This is one of my favorite books as it simply and quickly explains many processes of a woman's fertility cycle. I would not consider it a text for natural family planning, but I would consider it a great way to get to know about what is going on inside your body and how you can tell. It is information every woman should know. I have lent mine to many of my friends and they have all found it very interesting and informative and have enjoyed it all the more because it is quick and easy to read.
Rating: Summary: Should be in every couple's library Review: This is the first book I read on the subject and it remains my favorite. It is sensitively written, attractively laid out, and full of illustrations. Can be read in one sitting and makes the woman's cycle easy to understand. A lot of basic information on hormones, fertility problems, and practical strategies. Also how nursing, contraceptive pills, and menopause can affect the cycle. Those who wish for more detail can go to a more comprehensive book such as "Taking Charge of Your Fertility," but "Your Fertility Signals" is a good, easily-read, basic manual. I especially liked the clear, easy-to-use charts included for tracking your cycle.
