The Art of Natural Family Planning. John F. Kippley & Sheila K. Kippley"This book provides a clear guide to reproductive cycles and the many things that can affect them. I have found this book to be a fantastic source for information on breastfeeding, avoiding conception, and achieving pregnancy. There are times that my doctors couldn't answer my questions but this book did! This book was our introduction to NFP and helped us to avoid pregnancy for the first 9 months of our marriage, then to achieve pregnancy within ONE cycle. • Though many claim that the pill is freeing, women who use NFP are actually more free to make informed decisions about sexual activity and more able to communicate their desires for children or postponement of conception than are those in relationships that rely on artificial means of birth control. This book explains the sympto-thermal method accurately and provides a good basis for women to understand the functioning of their bodies – both when they wish to become pregnant or when they wish to avoid pregnancy, with no harmful side effects and a few good ones!"

Contraceptive Technology. Robert A. Hatcher, James Trussell et al."I have checked this book out of the Seattle Public Library so many times that I'm considering buying it for my personal reference library. If you want to be informed and educated about oral contraceptives, abortion and gynecology then you will find this book helpful." • "This is my second purchase of this excellent, comprehensive book. (It's updated periodically). I highly recommend it." ( Amazon.com) | |

Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control. Toni Weschler"This book returned to me what I think our culture, with its "Pill-mania" and premature and inadequate sex-ed, has stolen from women: the knowledge of our own bodies, and the miracles they were meant to perform. God made women's bodies good. This book did more than my GYN ever could have. Read it!" • "I was skeptical it would work, but after 10 months of trying, we still weren't pregnant despite fairly regular cycles and the use of ovulation kits. Taking Charge of Your Fertility should be a must read for every woman." • "This book is like a magic wand for women who want to get pregnant. After a year of trying EVERYthing – one month after purchasing this book I was pregnant with my 1st child. I have since passed the book on to other women who were trying to get pregnant and only 1 did not succeed-due to medical reasons." ( Amazon.com) | |
