"What to Expect Before You're Expecting" had some insightful information about planning to become pregnant, including chapters about how to predict ovulation and overcoming infertility. I did discover that a lot of the information in this book was common sense. The chapter about the signs of pregnancy was laced with "you could be pregnant, but it could also be PMS or something else is wrong". The whole chapter did nothing more to teach me than a website listing the signs of pregnancy would. There is a little bit of good stuff in the book like the chart that Murkoff included in the back of the book so people who want to chart their ovulation could. I think this is a decent book for people who want to take the full advantage of it. Myself, I chose to skip 3 chapters of the book and pick and choose the parts that actually applied to me. Basically, what I discovered from reading this was, planning to get pregnant just involves common sense and luck.
