I had enough info at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1250103 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 12:42:07 +0000 LittleFox 1250103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We also used it for NFP for several years (before taking our NFP classes) before getting pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1250065 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 12:02:11 +0000 Miss Sarah 1250065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! I learned a lot about my body from that book, before I started exploring the interwebs and realized I could have learned a lot on boards like this one. However, now that I have been diagnosed with PCOS, I think I'll bust that book back out and read the chapters I skipped about infertility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249770 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 08:48:31 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1249770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I read it almost entirely and found it very helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249723 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 07:50:00 +0000 nana87 1249723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read parts of it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249690 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 05:30:47 +0000 Dandelion 1249690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did YEARS ago, when TTC for DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249681 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 04:53:48 +0000 illumina 1249681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, though I didn't really learn anything I didn't know already (most of it from HB!). But I did have a predictable cycle and got pregnant the 2nd month trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249555 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 21:48:20 +0000 MamaMoose 1249555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. The interwebs taught me all I needed to know. I have a very predictable cycle and successfully used NFP (just tracking my cycle on my phone, no temping or anything) as BC for three years before TTC. And then got preggers on the first try once we did TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249540 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 21:25:58 +0000 MrsScottish 1249540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, skimmed some sections, but enjoyed some sections about what to watch for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249510 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 20:46:42 +0000 avivoca 1249510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did and loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249492 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 20:23:27 +0000 SweetMamaM 1249492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, and then loaned it to a friend who is no longer a friend... Is it a worry that I'm more disappointed about the loss of the book? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249478 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 20:12:31 +0000 Andrea 1249478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure?

I had been on birth control for soo long so I didn't know much about fertile cm etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249452 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 19:48:54 +0000 PurplePeony 1249452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jaypegs: same here! I read the book just before I stopped using HBC, about 3 years before we started TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249444 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 19:43:00 +0000 indi 1249444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jaypegs: We did the same. Loved that book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249393 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 18:10:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 1249393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: my sil was like that- she brought it back to b&amp;n and exchanged it for a pregnancy book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249391 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 18:09:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 1249391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup almost the whole thing. Used it for bc for a few months then for ttc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249390 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 18:05:39 +0000 jaypegs 1249390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More for NFP, which we used as BC for almost 5 years. By the time we were ready to try, I knew a lot about my cycles and how they work. It's been a valuable resource! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249389 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 18:02:41 +0000 rachiecakes 1249389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always jokes that I didn't get past the table of contents. I started reading but got pregnant right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249387 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 17:56:45 +0000 littlek 1249387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249376 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 17:39:48 +0000 bushelandapeck 1249376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and I passed it on to a friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249363 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 17:18:51 +0000 KT326 1249363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

Skipped the parts about BC. Using it as reference still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-taking-charge-of-your-fertility#post-1249349 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 17:00:50 +0000 autumnlove 1249349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read a chapter! </p>
