The Fertility Journal: A Day-By-Day Guide to Getting Pregnant

It wasn't quite what I was expecting. I am going through fertility treatments, and I thought that the Fertility Journal would be geared more towards that. However, there is only two months devoted to fertility treatments. That said, the book is extremely versatile. I was able to make it work for me. Instead of starting with the two fertility treatment months, I started at month 1. It helps to have a place to write down all of my information.

This is a greet way to track your fertility signs in more detail than just charting and also great to just write down what you are feeling that day, whether confused, frustrated, excited, etc.

This journal is great! Its an easy way to document your wonderful journey to motherhood.

I love this journal. There are spaces for you to mark your temperature and days of your cycle. What I wasn't expecting were all the facts you get on every page - a great bonus! Each month is a separate chapter, each week a 2-page spread with journaling boxes for each day, information blurbs on the sidelines, and usually a small Q & A related to the info. One week there is a place to write down all the underlying health problems you might want to bring up with your fertility doctor, another week there is a section to list your food vices and brainstorm ways to overcome them. I do have frustrations however - mostly about lack of space. The book suggests making a separate food journal. Why not include room to do that here? I would prefer larger areas to journal each day, more info boxes for tracking things like mood, general wellness vs. sickness, cervical fluid, and the actual date to accompany the cycle date. There just isn't room to jot that all down yourself in the smallish journaling boxes provided. Still, this is a great resource!

As stressful as it may be at times, this I recommend for those who plan on having a child. It has very interesting information and you can write whatever you want on it versus on a daily planner. Very helpful and educational.
