Krystazzle: This book should be required reading for every single individual who has monthly cycles! I considered myself educated on the topic of reproduction and yet found myself almost angry that I had gone most of my reproductive life not knowing much of the detailed information that is covered in this book.

I purchased it at a time where I was looking to come off of hormonal birth control and still avoid pregnancy but eventually the information was key in successfully starting a family as well. This book is an exhaustive education on understanding and tracking one's cycles down to the smallest detail. It changed my entire approach to family planning and allowed me to fully understand my body. It is written in a non bias and easy to understand format with great pictures and examples. Regardless of where you are at in your family planning needs, this book is an enlightening resource that I wish I had found 20 years earlier!

Hunter Adams: A wealth of information. Whether you’re trying to conceive or prevent pregnancy.. you need this book. I learned more from this book about women’s health and cycles than I ever did in nursing school.

Mrs. EbethMrs. Ebeth: With It Starts With the Egg by Rebeca Fett. It is the PERFECT combination.
I have wanted to get this book by Toni Weschler since I first heard of NFP in 2017. I'm so happy to finally have it! She totally sheds to like why OPK tests can be helpful in getting to know your body but not at all dependable for tracking ovulation days (whether you're preventing or trying).
I was using the strips and just getting frustrated. Now have a thermometer just for me (the Premom one) and app to plug in that number in addition to LH strip. On top of that I have my own charts in the bathroom and BOY it's honestly fascinating! I'm not tracking to either prevent or try. We are tracking to see that my cycles are normal and to get to know my body better (I have inflammation issues and back stuff and the list goes on). The first couple chapters of the book were honestly very basic, but it's extremely helpful once you get into it. For both women (born with a uterus) and man (born without a uterus and other external parts). My husband has learned a lot and finds the writing captivating and its been a great conversation between us two for a few days now. I'm almost half way through!
If fertility...

Elise: TLDR: This book is rich with helpful info on the menstrual cycle and enabled me to naturally family plan with ease.

I have had this for yrs now, was recommended to me when I decided to quit birth control because I was tired of the side effects and being ignored by health professionals when I brought them up (the same ones who repeatedly pressured me into taking the pill/getting the god awful IUD)

I read this cover to cover and implemented almost all the tracking methods into my daily routine and was able to easily avoid getting pregnant for two years. Then the instant we wanted to get pregnant, I knew what to do so boom one try and now I have a beautiful daughter. The knowledge I received from these pages is priceless; I truly understand my body now and tracking my fertility is like second nature to me.

This book made me feel seen, heard, understood, and worthy of the truth and empowered to weild it. I return to it for reference often and will for the rest of my life. If you are a woman, GET THIS BOOK.

Sam: El libro está Perfecto, las pastas se pueden romper fácilmente pero por agradezco que no sea pasta dura ya que pesaría bastante que no haría muy incómodo para leer por primera vez y para consultar en el futuro. Por otro lado el contenido es invaluable!!! Ayuda a comprender mejor tu propio cuerpo y sentirte empoderada al entenderte y hasta predecir lo que pasarás, te ayuda a comunicarte mejor con tu médico y evitarte exámenes clínicos innecesarios y llegar al grano más rápido. Me encanta y lo recomiendo muchísimo a todas las mujeres, saludables y con enfermedades como síndrome de ovario poliquistico, TODAS debemos aprender a reconocer los ciclos en nuestros propios cuerpos

Stella: I thank you for your enlightening book, what can I say more, reviews on amazon say it all.
I have not much to add other than maybe the ‘dark chapter’ on miscarriages is not fully covered and it would be nice to have more information on this ‘taboo’ subject. I was unfortunately in this situation some time ago at the age of 44 but the medical advice I received was not much of a help. not to mention the ...support...
Thank you and please keep demystifying the good as well as the ‘ugly’ information around fertility (or not).

Karina Miranda: O livro é muito rico em detalhes. Ainda não terminei de ler, mas toda mulher deveria ter aulas disso, inclusive nas escolas. Aguardei anos esperando alguém traduzir o livro, mas como não teve a tradução, tive que comprar em inglês mesmo. A leitura é facilitada pelo kindle, mas ler no tablet é bem melhor, quando fica difícil de entender um grande trecho, ai é possível copiar tudo e traduzir no app tradutor do google.

Hannah Elliott: No matter what stage of life you are in, this book is an invaluable resource for female health. I had tried talking to my ob/gyn about natural family planning after suffering through debilitating side effects of multiple types of birth control, and she basically told me "You just need to be on the pill, there is no way you can prevent pregnancy without it-and if you try nfp, you need to use a spermicide to be sure, and even then you're not guaranteed." So I researched on my own, and made it 6 months until I ended up pregnant...twice...and miscarried both times. I was frustrated and my hormones were all over the place, and then my friend recommended this book to me. I now understand that relying on an app was misguided, and the role that cervical fluid plays in fertility is crucial!
Toni is a life saver! I learned more about my body from the first chapter of her book than I ever had from my ob/gyn! I'm sure others have had better experiences with their doctor (and I have since found an amazing one for myself!), but for me this book has empowered me to take control of my health and not have to muddle through the experiments my previous dr was putting me through to find the right...
