I own and love Taking Charge of Your Fertility. One piece of advice that I can offer with TTC ( and I know that it is a hard thing to stick with but) don't stress if it doesn't happen right away. Chris and I tried for over a year before he left in January. When he got back, it was the last thing on our minds esp with the news of our orders to England January 2011 and look what happened, lol! I also suggest charting like the book recommends because it not only helps with TTC but also keeping up to date on your body's schedule as well as any abnormalities. I brought an abnormal schedule to my doc's attention last summer and he was able to pin point and treat my lazy left ovary. I never bought the kits or sticks or any of that mess, I just paid attention to feelings and schedules. Remember that you have my number and my email ( which goes to my phone) if you need me. :) ~Rosie
