Toni Weschler's book is more important to me than The Sacred Harp. Anyone who knows me understands the gravity of that statement, I'm sure. I am not interested in going on a crusade to spread the joys of charting your menstrual cycles (though if I had more time I might), but suffice to say, every woman should know the information presented in this book. Understanding and internalizing your three major fertility signs, and seeing how they are affected by other factors such as stress, travel and illness, is invaluable. It only takes a minute to take your temperature and notice what's going on "below" on a given day. You don't have to be as anal as I am about charting to still benefit from Fertility Awareness. This book should be read cover-to-cover at least once, and then it should be constantly referenced for the rest of your life (unless maybe you have it memorized).
