TTC After a Loss

Anyone read 'taking charge of your fertility'?

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

Re: Anyone read 'taking charge of your fertility'?

  • 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!
  • Want mine??  PM me your address and I'll send it to you.

    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

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

    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.

  • 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. 
  • Coming your way lady, Monday morning

    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.

  • Yes, it is a wonderful book and should be required reading for every woman!See if your library has it if you don't want to pay the big bucks.

  • 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.
