Wow - Get This Book And Software!!!! Hello all newbies!
I am new to PCOS and have been browsing this site for a few weeks. I found a recommendation for a book and I quickly picked it up. WOW! I have to say that it is amazing how much you can learn about your body and in particular: when you ovulate, IF you ovulate, how long your cycle is, etc, just based on BBT and CF!!!!!!! WOW WOW WOW! This book, "Taking Charge Of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler (recommended by many women here on this site), is a godsend. I can't even believe that I'm 35 yo and I have never known this about my own body.... What a powerful tool in the fight against PCOS, and in the battle to conceive!
When my DH and I first started TTC a few months ago, I did what all unknowing women to - count 14 days back from the next expected AF and "go for it". Well, in just a few weeks time of charting my BBT and CF, it seems that I O well into the 20's of my cycle, not at day 14!!!!! I'm 35 - one year of TTC at day 14 would have left me heading towards the fertility treatment route, without even knowing that there might not even be a problem!!!
Now, TTC or not, I plan on giving this book to all of my friends!!!! And I'm not even done reading it yet!
Thanks for letting me share my enthusiasum! If you have any other books you think are worth while, please post them!
Be well,
Heather
