This is also known as the sympto-thermal method and it is highly reliable. If you wanted to know more about charting to know whether it may be for you before buying this book then check out the American Pregnancy Association. It means that you can whip out your chart on the train and obsess about progress, one of my favourite procrastination train activities. Although there are template charts at the back of the book you can photocopy and use, most women these days embrace the modern era of technology and use a fertility app on their smart phone. It is pretty simple in theory - you log your periods, discharge in your pants (gross I know), your body temperature and what your cervix feel like (if willing and able to poke around in there) and keep it in a chart. What the hell is fertility charting? Good question. Taking Charge of Your Fertility covers (comprehensively) the basics of your cycle, how to recognise your fertile signs (oh THAT's why I sometimes have more discharge) and how to chart these in order to understand your cycle. One book is this one, the other is The Garden of Fertility by Katie Singer, not a book that I have consumed, as I am not that rare breed of person. There are two key books (two bibles of fertility, if you will) that comprehensively cover the topic of FAM and most people who practise FAM have read one or the other - you are a rare breed if you have read both. The fertility awareness method (or FAM if you wish to sound like a pro) can be used both as a way to increase your chances of conceiving or as a method of avoiding pregnancy.
It is possibly the single most important book you can buy to help you with fertility struggles. Taking Charge of Your Fertility is a textbook on the fertility awareness method, a way of charting your cycles and becoming aware of your body’s signs in order to better understand the times in your cycles when you are fertile.
