 THE EASIEST WAY TO LEARN AND PRACTICE NFP/FAM! | | Review Date: June 26, 2007 | | Reviewer: Katherine E. Sullivan, Oregon | I have read "Natural Family Planning" and "Taking Charge of your Fertility" and have practiced NFP/FAM (fertility awareness method) for a while now. I bought this mostly so I wouldn't have to print and bind my own charts anymore because this one comes ready to use and is small and thin like a workbook. I am very pleased with the charts- they are the easiest to use of all the ones I've tried.
What surprised me was the incredible job the author has done of teaching the method in a very concise and easy to understand manner. I can't emphasize enough how much easier it is to learn how to chart to prevent or to plan a pregnancy with this book than with other books.
Most exciting to me was the way the author teaches how to use NFP while breast feeding. The other books make it so complicated and when I did finally think I de-coded what they meant, it didn't work for me because my mucus was too eratic while nursing to use their methods. But, Singer does an excellent job in this book explaining how to use NFP while nursing a baby and she does it in under one page! She makes perfect sense and her method is much, much easier to use and is actually doable.
Awesome, awesome book! |
Gentle Encouragement, Firm Confidence | | Review Date: February 26, 2008 | | Reviewer: Lynn M. Griesemer, Fairfax, VA | Katie Singer shares her plethora of knowledge in HONORING OUR CYCLES: A NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING WORKBOOK FOR KNOWING WHICH DAYS YOU CAN AND CAN'T GET PREGNANT.
I've been practicing Natural Family Planning (NFP) with success for several years and I know that many women hesitate to embrace NFP or Fertility Awareness because they are afraid to trust the method. With her gentle encouragement and ease of communication, Singer's confidence in the accuracy of fertility awareness transfers to the readers - at least it did for me.
It's very important to gain confidence in NFP if you are going to rely upon it. The examples helped clarify various issues and scenarios. I also learned a new technique by reading this book: the "coverline."
The cover design is so enticing that my teenage daughters were intrigued with HONORING OUR CYCLES. I highly recommend this book.

great--especially for FAM/NFP newcomers | | Review Date: January 9, 2009 | | Reviewer: Andi, Pennsylvania, USA | | This book is great at getting you started with the charting in a practical manner. If you want a fuller knowledge of the method (and I recommend becoming as educated as you can), read Toni Wechsler's book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". I'm relatively new to the method, but after going through both books, I am confident in using this method as birth control. It also has healthy, natural recipes in it, which I liked. |
