Summary: THE Pill Alternative...
Review: This book is note solely to help you GET PREGNANT. It is also how to STOP YOU GETTING PREGNANT. From reading this book cover to cover I now know so much about my body & menstrual cycle - enough to know my fertile days, and thus when to use an alternative barrier during intercourse. (NOTE: A womens fertile days are NOT necessarily around day 14...every woman is different!) And the best thing is, not only can I almost guarantee I will get pregnant quickly when trying - I DON'T NEED TO BE ON THE PILL - and have all those nasty side effects while I'm NOT trying!! A sure recommend for anyone who is: a) not wanting to use the pill as a birth control method; b) wanting to get pregnant quickly; and c) wanting to know what you should ALREADY know about your body!!

Summary: Buy this book - the method does work!!!!
Review: This is an excellent comprehensive guide to a women's fertility cycle. As a 35 year old woman who was attempting with her husband to get pregnant, I found this a thorough explanation as to how I could get pregnant! The author describes in great detail the FAM method; however, the book is also provides summaries of the method so if you are not interested in reading the entire book, you can look at the summary lists and still use the FAM method. I read this book cover to cover and started using the method last June. I didn't chart my temperature for the cycles of June and July but decided to chart in August. My efforts were rewarded! After only 3 months, I became pregnant! I'm now typing this review with a very healthy 4 month old baby boy asleep on my lap. I should mention that I also used the author's suggestions on how to conceive a boy ! I can't say enough good things about this book - it truly was a worthwhile purchase. If we decide to have another child, I will definitely use Ms. Weschler's book again. Before I bought the book, I read the countless Amazon reviews of it; I was hopeful that I would get pregnant like so many other reviewers did but also skeptical. Well, I can say for certain that this book really did help me. My husband works nights and we rarely see each other so we did need to take "charge" of the situation! Good luck!

Summary: Taking control
Review: This book is an excellent source of information to help women understand their own unique fertility, ovulation and hormone cycle. Many women with fertility concerns are told to relax and see if they are pregnant in a year. This book enables you to take a more active role in understanding your fertility and working with your doctor. The approach is easy and doing something to understand your fertility is empowering. I'm not sure if the knowledge of my cycle or the feeling of taking charge helped me more, but I am happily pregnant.

Summary: This book is a MUST for ALL Women
Review: Want to get pregnant or AVOID IT?! This book is right ON! My husband and I have been off the pill for the past 9 months and have not gotten pregnant. Because of this book, I knew when I was ovulating and knew when to avoid those days. When we knew we were ready for a baby, we got pregnant that month! This book is SO awesome, very informative. It helps you get to know your body and help you seel if there are any health issues you should bring up to your doctor! Best of all... it only promotes your body to be natural and not stuck on pills, relying on test strips, etc. I highly reccommend this book to all women!

Summary: A MUST READ for women who are trying to conceive
Review: I bought this book after trying to conceive for four months. I had been using ovulation predictor kits and taken the advice of my OB/GYN and nothing seemed to work. However, after charting my cycle and employing the recommendations from the book, I got pregnant within 2 months. I am now a proud parent of a 3-month old baby boy.

Summary: It's in your best interest
Review: I'm a Neonatal nurse so I like to make informed decisions. I bought this book and read it from front to back within 3 days. It was so easy and a joy to read. I felt so empowered. Fortunately, I began charting right away. After only 3 months of trying to get pregnant while charting, I did not see a pattern so I went to my OB/Infertiltiy Specialist and he noted a pattern of non-ovulation. I was diagnosed within 1 month and had surgery for stage 4 endometriosis, uterine polyps, and polycystic ovaries. No wonder I COULD NOT get pregnant!! Most doctors make you try for at least 1 year on your own, but this book saved me more than a year of futile attempts at getting pregnant because we could see in black and white that I needed medical help. I continue to chart daily because it makes me feel empowered that I am truly "Taking charge of my fertility" and my doctor highly appreciates it too.

Summary: This book changed my life
Review: This is one of the most important books a woman can read if she wants to, as the title indicates, take charge of her fertility. I read this book three years ago when I was searching for alternatives to chemical birth control. My doctor told me there were no reliable non-chemical options, but she was so wrong. I read this book, made a few photocopies of charts, and purchased a $10 basal body thermometer. For the next three years I spent approximately one minute a day on this method and successfully avoided pregnancy and became aware of my body's cycles. Every month was informative and interesting and I became so much more knowledgeable about myself and my health. Lat month, my husband and I decided it was time to start trying for a baby. I am happy to report that I am now five weeks pregnant and my expected due date is April, 2004. Without this book, I know things would not have turned out so well. It is an invaluable resource every woman, trying to conceive or not. It includes so much information that was never given to me before, and it allowed me to make educated and personal decisions about my body. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Demystifies a little-known method!
Review: I would definitly recommend this book to anyone looking for an alternative to the popular BC methods that all GYN's push. No doctor ever brough up FAM to me before, even after having complaints about the popular methods and feeling uneasy about them. It also was a no-spin zone, meaning there was no religous undertone and would be suitable for even the most sensitive-to-religion kind of person. It brings natural family planning out of the catholic church basements into the doctor's office and appears to be very easy to follow.

Summary: You have to read this book!!!
Review: I have been trying to conceive for over a year now and this book was recommended to me by some friends. I wish I had read it before we even started trying. It is such an eye-opener and so informative. All women should read this book, but especially is you are trying to get pregnant. It takes the guesswork out of what's going on with your body and if you do have a fertility problem you can help you doctor pinpoint so much faster if using the FAM method that is described in this book. I highly recommend it!
