Anyone read 'taking charge of your fertility'?

CarrieLeigh84 · September 2009

Curious... was in the book store today and was so very tempted to pick it up. They had about a dozen copies, so I figured before I dropped $35 on it, I would see if anyone has had any success (or know of anyone who has) with this book.

The one I'm looking at came with a CD for charting too, if that makes a difference

Yes, loved it. I have long, irregular cycles, and found myself on the phone one day crying b/c I didn't know what my body was doing, when to expect to O, AF, etc. A girlfriend told me about it twice, so I sucked it up and bought the book. I refer to it ALL the time and go back and re-read often. I think it's totally worth it. I didn't use the CD b/c I just printed free charts from the web and used the old-fashioned paper version (but there are lots of free sites online and you need to pay for that one).

Read it. Liked it. I checked it out from the local library, though. I didn't need the charting software that comes with it because I use Fertility Friend.

I don't have it, but I've seen lots of girls here recommend it. I just didn't want to shell out $35 for a new copy, so I'm keeping my eye open at the bargain bookstore for it.

When we first started TTC, I bought the book and really learned a lot. I think it was worth the $35. Anything that could help us along I think is worth it!

Thank you! That's kind of exciting because my cycles are crazy, and I never know when to expect them. I think I might have to go back and pick it up

They have them at Amazon for half as much, even brand new - $16.47 -

Really? I would be more than happy to pay you for it. I live in Canada, so mailing it might be a bit expensive

Thank you - I'm an instant gratification kinda gal. I'm gonna be in Australia for the next month, so I guess I could wait though.

No worries, I don't need money. Here's the deal-if I send you the book you have to wish me luck on my cycle & promise to pass it one once you have your bfp. It's a magic book, I got it from someone on TTC and it's been passed on 3 times Smile .... Just PM me and I'll have it out 1st thing Monday.

Effing done I'll even do a little fertility dance for you lol.. not quite sure what it would be, but I'll make one up just for you.

I read it, twice. I actually was very hesitant to read it, since it looked so thick to me, I was scared. Mine came with the CD, but it wasn't compatable with Vista. I completely love it. I learned so much from it and thought that I already knew a lot. Well now I know a lot more. I'd highly reccomend it.

Just an idea

When you send it write your bump name in it

Then when she passes it along she can do the same

I have a copy that is a nestie copy & after I get my sticky baby I will be sending it along to the next girl in need.

PeetiePie · September 2009

I read it. Check your local library. That's where I got ahold of my copy.

Yes, I found it very informative and helpful. Worth the $$. I bought it used on Amazon so it was only like $5 bucks and looked brand new.
