Acupuncture Healthcare

I want to begin this subject by first recommending a book, but please do not judge this book by it’s title. It deals with so much more than fertility. It is for women ages 18 to 65. It’s about all the things you didn’t know about being a woman, couldn’t help but notice, and yet no one handed you the manual to read the signs. Here’s the manual!  It’s about your monthly cycles and understanding what your body is doing today. You will walk away from this book with ah-hahs and “why wasn’t I told that in the first place.” This book is the basic beginning guide to understanding your hormones, the ones cycling month to month, year after year. It’s an important read and I urge you to pick it up today, Toni Weschler’s Taking Charge of Your Fertility*.  Also, here is the direct link to Toni’s site for the charting downloads.

Taking Charge of Your Fertility has been particularly useful for my female patients wanting to get a start on pregnancy. Reading this book and tracking their cycles provides them with an inexpensive first look at what their hormones are doing right now.

*Note: Toni Weschler has written a version of this book for girls entering menarche and their teen years, Cycle Savvy.
