Popular Highlights in this book
What are popular highlights?
Previous page
  1. A woman’s preovulatory waking temps typically range from about 97.0 to 97.7 degrees Fahrenheit, with postovulatory temps rising to about 97.8 and higher. After ovulation, they will usually stay elevated until her next period, about 12 to 16 days later. If she were to become pregnant, they would remain high throughout much of her pregnancy, gradually dropping a few months before childbirth.
    Highlighted by 2,455 Kindle readers
  2. Practically speaking, this means that your Peak Day will usually occur one or two days before your thermal shift.
    Highlighted by 2,269 Kindle readers
  3. The primary factor that determines how long it will take before you ovulate is how soon your body reaches an estrogen threshold.
    Highlighted by 2,066 Kindle readers
  4. Preovulatory temps are suppressed by estrogen, whereas postovulatory temps are increased by heat-inducing progesterone.
    Highlighted by 1,884 Kindle readers
  5. But a woman trained in Fertility Awareness knows that she needs a phase of at least 10 days from ovulation to menstruation for implantation to later occur, and that 18 consecutive high temps after ovulation almost always indicates a pregnancy.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This beautifully written guide to a woman’s fertility signs is packed with knowledge, wisdom and humor―a must for the bookshelf.” — Co-authors of The New Our Bodies, Ourselves

“Taking Charge of Your Fertility has become the Our Bodies, Ourselves for our time. Alternately silly, whimsical, and exhaustingly specific, the book was published fifteen years ago and is ranked higher by customers on Amazon than all other books except the third and fourth Harry Potters.” — New York magazine

“Taking Charge of Your Fertility is a fantastic book, loaded with practical and beautifully presented information that will transform and empower every woman’s relationship with her fertility. I recommend it to women of all ages.” — Christiane Northrup, M.D., Author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause

From the Back Cover

This new edition for the twentieth anniversary of the groundbreaking national bestseller provides all the information you need to monitor your menstrual cycle—along with updated information on the latest reproductive technologies

Are you unhappy with your current method of birth control? Or demoralized by your quest to have a baby? Do you experience confusing signs and symptoms at various times in your cycle? This invaluable resource provides the answers to your questions while giving you amazing insights into your body.

Taking Charge of Your Fertility has helped literally hundreds of thousands of women avoid pregnancy naturally, maximize their chances of getting pregnant, or simply gain better control of their gynecological and sexual health. Toni Weschler thoroughly explains the empowering Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), which in only a couple of minutes a day allows you to:

  • Enjoy highly effective and scientifically proven birth control without chemicals or devices
  • Maximize your chances of conception before you see a doctor or resort to invasive high-tech options
  • Expedite your fertility treatment by quickly identifying impediments to pregnancy achievement
  • Gain control and a true understanding of your gynecological and sexual health

This new edition includes:

  • A fully revised and intuitive charting system
  • A selection of personalized master charts for birth control, pregnancy achievement, breastfeeding, and menopause
  • An expanded sixteen-page color insert that reflects the book’s most important concepts
  • Six brand-new chapters on topics including balancing hormones naturally, preserving your future fertility, and three medical conditions all women should be aware of
