Taking Charge of Your Fertility, by Toni Weschler


Q: What do you call people who use the rhythm method for contraception?

A: Parents.

Which is often true, as Weschler adeptly points out. She then proceeds to explain how a woman can be aware of and in tune with her body and recognize the signs of ovulation so that she can scientifically and accurately pinpoint the phases of her cycle.

You want to get pregnant? Great - here's the way. You don't want to get pregnant? Great - this method, the Fertility Awareness Method (or FAM) will show you how to do that too. Scientific studies show that FAM is as effective as leading birth control methods. Do not confuse FAM with the rhythm method.

Is pregnancy not an issue for you? Great - learn more about how your body works and what it's trying to tell you. Be in synch and understand the signs of ovulation, menstruation, and pregnancy.

Knowledge is power, and this book gives its readers a lot of both.
