Presented here is a safe, non-invasive, and effective method of birth control based on the recording and interpretation of signs and signals from a woman's own body. This book has been recommended by family planning centers for many years.
I found this book on the shelf at the meditation retreat and homestead where I lived in Vermont five years ago. Natural birth control was a new idea to me at the time. I learned from this book that natural methods exist. So that's a good thing. This book is not enough though. You need to read Toni Weschler's book, Taking Charge of Your Fertility, to get a more complete understanding of your fertility and how to observe signs in order to achieve or prevent pregnancy. This book is a great leaping off point and an inspiration for folks who are not interested in drugs or synthetic hormones, but you NEED more information.
This is The Farm's awesome natural famly planning (NFP) book that got me started WAY back when. I absolutely love it!! This is an easy beginner's book for this method and not nearly as overwhelming as the newer Taking Charge of Your Fertility. But TCOYF is an excellent intermediate course!
I found my old reading records from the time I was studying midwifery.
This is an older book from 1976 but still relevant. I appreciate how it is explained and gives the power and control to women and their partners. Also relatively in depth and technical, does not talk down to the reader.
This is a good book to get an overview of natural birth control. However for a more detailed book of the Fertilit Awareness Method I would recommend Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler
