Useful information on thyroid, pre-eclampsia, heavy bleeding, fertility and fertility charting, pre-menopause, proper weight, nutrition and sleep. I have used the information as well as shared it with others.
The author thanks John Kippley for his inspiration but fails to mention how to reach him. He writes and teaches at Natural Family Planning International; [...] --He is not associated with ccl at this time.
 wonderfully informative book November 12, 2009

This is a very helpful book for anyone who has irregular cycles, unexplained infertility, or just wants to increase overall nutrition. Several interesting topics are discussed, including PCOS, thyroid issues, and nutrition related to Down Syndrome.
I highly recommend this book.
 Okay Overall TTC Resource; Not the Best November 10, 2009
A. Anderson (California)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This review is written from the perspective of one who wants to boost fertility--not one who necessarily doesn't support the use of contraceptives (that's an entirely different debate!). I'm also fairly well-versed in fertility issues, cycle irregularities, and charting. I'm by no means an expert.
I had high hopes for this book, and I'm sure it's an excellent resource for those unfamiliar with NFP and fertility overall. In the end, however, it's only just okay for one trying to conceive. There are a plethora of other books that I feel do a better job of this (TCOYF, for instance).
I was also disappointed by her approach to vegan diets, though I realize that isn't the purpose of this book. I'm not vegan, but have done a tremendous amount of research (professionally) regarding healthy diet and nutrition. Vegan and vegetarian diets can most certainly be healthy; counseling a mother to convince her daughter to change her lifestyle rather than help her make wise choices doesn't sit well. I was also surprised given her support of The Fertility Diet which encourages a plant-based diet to help boost fertility (though this is based on the NHS and controversial).
Lastly, I wish I'd known this book took more of a religious stance and included scriptures. I knew it was a good resource for NFP, but Christians aren't the only people who practice NFP.
All in all, my disagreement with her approach to veg*n living, inclusion of scriptures, and other minor issues really shouldn't influence my overall review--they have little to do with the basic information provided in this book! Once again, it's a good starting resource, but not the best for one who already knows a bit about TTC. It also didn't provide an accurate cause for my cycle irregularities, though it did provide several explanations for those of others. Not entirely complete, but a good start.
This book is a must have! October 23, 2009

I don't have any fertility issues, but we are ready to TTC now and I wanted to make sure my body was in the best health possible before conceiving. VERY helpful information on how to eat right, things to avoid while pregnant and trying to conceive. It was easy to read, no high-tech words that most readers can't understand.
Also, even if you are not TTC this has MUCH info on women's cycles if you experiance PMT, PMS, heavy bleeding, no bleeding...just a wealth of heavily researched information on how to correct cycle irregularities and common problems and symptoms that women experiance during their cycle.
There is also a little bit in back for men's health as well.
And a few recommendations on certain multi vitamins too!
Most Credible and Informative Book I've found! October 17, 2009
Laura (Norfolk, VA)
I can't stop re-reading this book (and from personal experience, the recommendations and advice really do work!)
There is one disadvantage: I now am horribly disappointed in the other fertility/pregnancy related books. This book does such a great job backing up EVERYTHING! I love knowing the credibility and currency of information, something SEVERELY lacking by comparison in other books.
