For those trying to conceive or for those desiring to plan or postpone a pregnancy.

One of the most common statements we hear from people when we start talking about fertility education, is "Why didn't anyone ever tell us this stuff about our bodies?!!" A great place to start in answering many questions about our bodies and our fertility is a book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. It's full of practical information and suggestions for many of the common questions and frustrations surrounding fertility.

Are you unhappy with your current method of birth control? Or are you demoralized by your quest to have a baby? Do you also experience confusing signs and symptoms at various times in your cycle, but are frustrated by a lack of simple explanations?

The self-knowledge available from Fertility Awareness is a valuable resource for all kinds of personal decision-making. Perhaps most important, it encourages women to value and trust knowledge provided by their own bodies
.

For many, additional knowledge, trust and support may be all that is needed in this area. However, we also recognize that some do face additional challenges and struggles. We recognize that this is a very personal area and often a difficult time for many people. Our desire is to encourage you on this path through education, support and even personal experience. Many of our Xylem participants have had challenges, losses and victories in this area. We are also happy to share with you our referral list for those in need of additional infertility counseling.

When considering the idea of planning your family or postponing a pregnancy, we recommend The Art of Natural Family Planning by John and Sheila Kippley and Open Embrace: A Protestant Couple Rethinks Contraception by Sam and Bethany Torode. Again, trust that you will seek him on the path that is best for you and your family.
