Toni comes across as a most caring, well-intentioned person. She is a very capable writer and is highly convincing. This creates a problem because it lends credibility to an absurd proposal: that a souped-up version of the “rhythm” method of birth control can be relied on to produce results! The Fertility Awareness Method,(FAM), monitors cervical mucus and body temperature on a daily basis to predict the week or so per cycle when a woman could potentially become pregnent. The other three weeks or so are completely safe. I’m sure this works flawlessly for the majority of women. Unfortunately, the only way to find out if you’re one of the minority for whom it doesn’t is by becoming PREGNANT!! Think about it. Then do what women have done since the start of spoken communication: ask other women about some of the intimate details of their lives. You will be amazed at how open and forthcoming mothers, grandmothers, aunts, friends and acquaintances can be. The truth that emerges is stunningly simple: humans have an incredible reproductive potential. INTERCOURSE AT EITHER END OF OF A THREE WEEK TIME FRAME OFTEN RESULTS IN CONCEPTION. “End of period” babies are very common. Sperm can survive longer than you might think. Eggs can be fertilized long past their peak time. Ms. Weschler and I share a deep distrust of M.D.s. Still, you may want to run FAM by your gynecologist. They’ve seen too much to be totally clueless on the subject. Maybe your friends with ten years between children were’nt careless, just ignorant.

From personal experience, I offer this: there is no resistance to ovulation and conception provided by actively nursing.
