Book, Blog, and Podcast Suggestions 

We’ve spent so much of our lives trying not to get pregnant (hello birth control, contraception, tracking cycles!). Looking back to our health classes growing up, we don’t remember our teachers (or anyone, for that matter) talking much about periods. Even now, most of us are pretty uneducated about what’s going on in our bodies every month.

What if we took a step back and got acquainted with our menstrual cycle, ovulation patterns, what’s going on with our hormones, and when we’re most fertile? This could help us prepare for if/when we do decide to start trying or are experiencing difficulties and need support.

Recently, women’s reproductive health has been gaining much more attention (hallelujah!), and there are really helpful resources out there for women who want to educate themselves. Today you can be more proactive rather than reactive when understanding your own fertility. 

Here are a few resources we trust to empower you on your journey.
