When did I ovulate last month? "Does my LH surge always happen on Day 15? "How long ago did I get my FSH tested?" When it comes to getting pregnant, timing and accuracy are everything, yet you have to have the organizational bent of a bookkeeper to keep track of the relevant details! What a woman in charge of her fertility really needs is one place to track everything--a handy log to keep on the nightstand, to toss in her purse when she goes to the doctor, or to whip out for reference when she's searching the Internet. Spiral-bound for easy and frequent use, The Essential Fertility Log is all that--and a lot more. It has three main sections: a daily journal with space to record ovulation/cycle information, a monthly calendar that displays the big picture of fertility and menstrual cycles, and a section for medication, treatment, and test records. Fun factoids and tips throughout also emphasize staying fit and healthy through regular exercise, good nutrition, and stress management. A source of daily encouragement as well as a tool for effective communication and collaboration with her doctor, The Essential Fertility Log will keep a woman's spirits up as she rides the emotional roller coaster of trying to conceive.
SUZANNE SCHLOSBERG is the author of THE CURSE OF THE SINGLES TABLE: A True Story of 1001 Nights Without Sex, chronicle of a dry spell that lasted longer than the Kennedy administration.
The Streak isn't the only feat of endurance Suzanne has parlayed into writing gig. Shortly after marrying her lovable, redheaded Streakbreaker, Suzanne began a long, elusive quest to get knocked up. The experience spawned THE ESSENTIAL FERTILITY LOG and an essay for Fit Pregnancy magazine titled "I Used an Egg Donor." Oh, and fraternal twins.
When she's not writing about prenatal hemorrhoids, infant vomit or toddler tantrums, Suzanne is busy informing exercisers about the latest ways to strengthen their glutes. Suzanne is the author of THE ULTIMATE WORKOUT LOG and coauthor, with Liz Neporent, of FITNESS FOR DUMMIES and WEIGHT TRAINING FOR DUMMIES. Another recent collaboration: THE ULTIMATE DIET LOG, written with Cynthia Sass, MA, RD, creator of the New York Times bestseller Flat Belly Diet!
The latest from Suzanne: THE GOOD NEIGHBOR COOKBOOK, quite the ironic project for someone who has befriended numerous night managers at Baja Fresh. Alas, Suzanne did not create the recipes for the book, leaving that to her fabulous collaborator, Real Simple recipe developer and chef Sara Quessenberry.
