A Guide to Charting Your Fertility Signals
To Prevent or Achieve Pregnancy - Naturally -
And To Gauge Your Reproductive Health


Are you trying to get pregnant – or trying not to? Katie Singer’s latest book, The Garden of Fertility (Avery/Penguin 2004), introduces Fertility Awareness, a method that can be used as natural birth control or as natural infertility treatments. Reading your fertility charts can also help you assess your gynecological health, including whether you are ovulating, prone to ovarian cysts, thyroid problems, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or miscarriage.

The Garden of Fertility explains how to identify when you are fertile and infertile, breastfeeding and ovulation, common products that can be hazardous to reproductive health, natural remedies for strengthening gynecological health including nutrition and nightlighting techniques, and provides stories about healing childbearing losses.

You’ll also meet women conducting research on their own cycles. The book includes charts of women getting off the pill, charting with an IUD, on Clomid, after an abortion, coming off Depo-Provera, and approaching menopause.

The Garden of Fertility web site offers free fertility charts for you to download; supplementary information on male and female reproductive anatomy and sexually transmitted infections; cervix pictures; and additional resources related to fertility and food, the environment, pregnancy and more.
