Natural Birth Control Made Simple

By Barbara Kass-Annese, R.N., C.N.P.

This book gives specific instruction on the use of two methods of family planning: Natural Family Planning and Fertility Awareness Method.

These methods give couples natural choices:
1. To avoid pregnancy, you can determine when you are infertile and have sexual intercourse without conceiving.
2. To become pregnant, you can track the days of the month when you are most fertile and have intercourse when you are most likely to conceive.
3. These safe non-invasive techniques can be used by themselves or combined with other contraception methods.
4. The techniques are noninvasive, have no side effects and carry no danger of toxic infection or cancer.

The authors, experts in fertility awareness, have completely revised and updated this newly titled edition of the book. The new material includes several new examples of natural birth control and the fertility awareness method, with illustrations. The book contains 40 charts for readers to use. The book is written in an accessible style and contains edifying case studies.

Reviews for Natural Birth Control Made Simple

[smitkevi · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The subject matter was entertaining, but at times the writing style was a bit boring. With that said, it's non-fiction and I spend most of my reading time in the world of fiction so I suppose the book deserves a break. I'm sure this one will have more staying power than a good yarn, even if I needed to read it while the sun was up to avoid the old head-bob routine.

Key Ideas:1. Motivation is key to learning. Teaching an animal or a human language skills is difficult unless the subject wants to communicate something of importance (i.e. play with me, give me food, etc.)2. Intelligence and language depend on the understanding that there are others who have minds that do not know what you know.Chapters 9 "The Origin of Language" and Chapter 10 "At the Brink of the Human Mind" are particularly interesting and I plan to reread.
