Summary: THE "FERTILITY BIBLE" lol
Review: I am a member of some online message boards and this book was often reffered to me and said "you hvae to buy the fertility bible" I used to laugh it off. But ever since I caved in and bought it....I can understand why! I have since recommended this book to everyone I know, wherether they are ttcing or not. It's wonderful to know exactly what your body is doing and to dismiss all the myths! Although I am not pregnant yet (after 14 months) I have learned a lot. Our problems are with both husband and I, but by charting my cycles alone I have learned the most important information about my body yet. I reommend this book to absolutely everyone. And plan on teaching my future daughters to chart their cycles when the time is necessary. Great great book

Summary: Finally I know whats going on!
Review: After reading this book, I finally know what is happening to my body. I am can read the signs of my own fertility, and use them to suit the needs of the time. I became pregnant immediately after using the FAM method, yet unfortunatley suffered a miscarriage. I have been using the FAM method as birth control and will most certainly use it when we decide to try again. It is comforting to feel as if I have the knowledge to be in control.

Summary: The BEST book ever!
Review: I highly recommend this book for every woman! I bought this book because a friend of mine told me about. She told me that every woman should own it and I have to agree with her! The information in this book is so helpful in understanding exactly what your body is going through every month. It completley explains your cycle and the FAM method. Everyone that I know that has used this method to aquire pregnancy has succeeded! Again, I must say that this book is a MUST HAVE!

Summary: Why aren't we told this in school!
Review: I am not currently trying to get pregnant or even avoid pregnancy, but I ate up everything this book had to offer because it did such a wonderful job of demystifying my body and how it works.Toni Weschler's explanations of the female menstural cycle are clear, fascinating and most importantly, filled with practical information for all women. I have had two friends who used the Fertility Awareness Method to get pregnant, and both are now using it as birth control with complete success, and after reading this book, I know why they are such supporters of the information given here. I highly recommend it for women, doctors and perhaps most importantly, health educators.

Summary: This book will save you a lot of time!
Review: This is the most helpful book I have read on this subject. Toni explains the female body and cycle in a way that is very easy to grasp. I got pregnant the first month after I read this book. I would highly recommend reading this book instead of trying to time it on your own (like I did for 14 months! )

Summary: Taking Charge of Your Fertility
Review: After the birth of my son, my husband and I were looking for a method of birth control. Researching many options we weren't satisfied with what we found out. The side effects alone were enough to make us think twice. A friend recommended this book to me and to be honest, after hearing her summary I was a bit skeptical. But, after reading this book and putting it all in to practice, I must now admit, I wouldn't practice birth control any other way. Having the knowledge of what my body is doing and when I should expect it is priceless infromation. Toni's anecdotes are both funny and informative. They let you know that others are experiencing the same things you are. I would highly recommend this book to any couple wanting to pracice a safe, natural and most of all a highly effective form of birth control. Being aware of your fertility is power.

Summary: Wish she would get to the point
Review: I was looking for another form of birth control and bought this book. Knowing that the withdrawal method was risky, I hoped that this book could give me clear instruction on charting and the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM). Instead, the majority of this book is anecdotes, rather than clear and concise information.I am left wondering if FAM has too many variables or if Toni Wechsler is incapable of explaining it. THIS BOOK WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY USEFULL INFORMATION IF YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT FAM AS BIRTH CONTROL. I have no doubt that if I followed the "instructions" in the book I would get pregnant eventually (assuming there were no fertility issues.)

Summary: Get the knowledge you need to be successful, with this book.
Review: This book was so good that I bought three more copies for friends. Toni gets to the point and takes the mystery out of the whole process. This should be wide spread information and taught to all women of every age. I wish my doctors would of recommended this book to me years ago. It removes the fears and empowers you with the knowledge that you need to both get pregnant and avoid it! I learned more from this book than all the others combined. It also showed me the signs and signals that my body gives that even doctors that I have had didn't understand. Lets face it you know your body better than anyone. Toni teaches you what it all means and gives you a precise way to keep up with it all. Best of all, it is easy to do. You learn what to expect, when and take away all the suprises that we experience. When you know, you'll wonder why it tooks so long to get this information. Even if you do end up going the fertility treatment route, you can take some of the guess work out of it. Prevent test being taken during the wrong time of your cycle, because you will know when the best time for the various tests is. Avoid test that you don't need because you know what is going on in your body. You will be able to share information about your cycles with your doctor and make it easier on both of you. "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" has information that most other books omit to keep it simple, but Toni explains everything in a useful manner. It gives hope to otherwise hopeless efforts. Just knowing the correct timing removes the frustration felt by many couples. Don't waste your time or money on other books, get this one. It is the best one.

Summary: TRY THIS BEFORE YOU START ON THE INFERTILITY TREADMILL!
Review: I am a 35 year old woman who thought my time was running out to have a child. I met and married my husband at age 30, then finished school, then started trying to conceive. Our first try resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. It was an awful experience, to say the least. I saw this book and thought "what do I have to lose?" Within about 2 months of using the method in this book, I was pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy on August 3, 1999. I also took Robutussin as recommended in the book. Virtually all M.D.s will tell you that the Robutussin thing is whooey, but it worked for me to thin out thick cervical mucus, a very common problem for older would-be moms. The information in this book is INVALUABLE! I think everyone who wants to better understand her body should get this book, but especially those who wish to conceive and have had trouble. EXCELLENT!
