Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler
For today's blog I wanted to do another baby item but then I started thinking, "I need to start from the beginning!". While we have a number of friends with children, we have a few friends who are still in those early stages of trying to conceive. Heath and I experienced our bout of fertility difficulties (many of you know the details and that we winded up having our first, beautiful child, through in vitro fertilization). If you have been following my blog you must realize now that I am a reader and I picked apart a number of fertility books when we were "TTC" (for the fertility savvy, that's code for 'trying to conceive'). Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler is by far the best book to familiarize yourself with the steps it takes to get pregnant.
This is a comprehensive book that details the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), something your body naturally goes through each month that gives you signs to tell you when you are most fertile. The book helps you pinpoint your fertility period and also explains anything you have going on that may be inhibiting you from achieving that fertility period. When we were struggling with our own fertility issues, we felt like we weren't getting the right answers from our doctors and this book steered us in the right direction...we discovered things that our doctors were completely missing!
This is a very thoughtful gift for the friend, family or any other loved one facing frustrating and, often, debilitating fertility problems.
