If you are trying to get pregnant you need this book. No other book is so well respected. It is recommended often by doctors and others who specialize in fertility and often quoted on the infertility message boards. "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler is the most important book you can read if you are trying to have a baby. Even if you don't have fertility problems, this book will teach you how to improve your odds of pregnancy - or help you avoid pregnancy naturally.

Weschler takes you through the cues that your body gives you to when you are most fertile. Many wome have no idea how to read these signs since we are never taught to look for them. In addition to great explanations Weschler provides full color photos. So, when you are wondering how to tell the difference between normal vaginal fluids and cervical mucus you can refer to the pictures and see exactly what you are looking for.

You will also learn how to make sense of the basal body temperature (BBT) charts your doctor may ask you to keep. If you suspect that you may have a fertility problem, it is a great idea to read this book a few months before your required "try it for a year" period is up. You can then go to your doctor with a couple of months of completed temperature charts to prove your case. This can save you months of waiting since your doctor may ask to see these before they move on to treatment.

Some women may find this book to be too direct, but once you have been at the fertility game a while you think nothing of talking about cervical mucus and basal body temperature charts with all of your online friends. The truth is that understanding how your body works will give you the best chance at success in the fertility game.
