This first Spanish edition of the "best book on the subject" gives specific instruction on the use of two methods of family planning: Natural Family Planning and the Fertility Awareness Method. These methods give couples natural choices:
**To avoid pregnancy, you can determine when you are infertile and have sexual intercourse without conceiving.
**To become pregnant, you can track the days of the month when you are most fertile and have intercourse when you are most likely to conceive.
Women with any kind of heart risk, especially those who smoke, are especially endangered by the pill. This book offers an alternative. These safe non-invasive techniques have no side effects and carry no danger of toxic infection or cancer. They can be used by themselves or combined with other contraception methods. This book allows couples to be secure in their lovemaking and in control of their sexual well-being.
The authors, experts in fertility awareness, completely revised and updated this book, due to be published in English in early 2003. The new material includes several new examples of natural birth control and the fertility awareness method, with illustrations. The book contains helpful case studies, useful charts and illustrations, and is written in an accessible style.
There is so much we do not learn about our bodies from our families or schools. This book was so informative about the female reproductive cycle and ways one can use this knowledge for a natural birth control. Because this can also be a “controversial” topic, they did it in an unbiased, scientific manner. I am very grateful to have read this book.
A great book to read as a woman to better understand your natural cycle. Even if you plan on using hormonal birth control it still has a lot of great information every woman should know about herself!
Just when I thought I understood my cycle...this book offered a lot of great information to me as I don't do great on man-made hormones. Informative, educational and sparked a lot of conversation with my girlfriends.
Guessing my ovulation date of course isn't that easy. There are ways to guess the window and that of course is the point of the book. I needed to remind myself of some facts. I really wanted a method that used the ovulation stick.
