Good NFP info when healthy people are trying to conceive

This book does a good job of explaining how to use the methods of natural family planning (NFP) with the goal of conceiving. I had taken a NFP course before I was married to learn how to prevent conception, and this book took that knowledge and helped me learn how to apply it to trying to conceive. I would agree with other comments that it is not for those who are having great difficulty conceiving and are facing infertility issues.I was not looking for information about herbs or alternative therapies, so I cannot comment on those sections of the book.This is great for those wanting details about the physiology of conception.

An alternatve guide to acheiving pregnancy without drugs.

This book in combination with Toni Weschler's "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" I gained knowledge of my body and what might jump start my hormonal problems. We have been trying unsucessfully to get pregnant for 1 year, and today I found out we're pregnant. I used an herbal remedy in regulating female hormones and 2 days later my body responded. I was due for a dose of Clomid to do the same thing I achieved on my own. I recommend these books to anyone seeking knowledge about ther bodies, and help achieving pregnancy.

This is a good books for those who want different choices.

We've read this book and it gave us information that our western Dr. didn't. We've never really used "natural" medicine before. This book helped us to realized the things that we were doing that was helping us to not conceive our so wanted baby. This book gave us Chinese alternatives to fertility drugs.
