School girls in Australia will help the Canberra Endometriosis Clinic test out a new self-screening tool that is meant to help diagnose the disease early in women and minimize its impact on their lives.
The idea for a checklist came to Melissa Parkman and gynecologist Anne Sneddon after they studied menstrual disorders among more than 1000 females […]
Chapter six of Fully Fertile: A 12-Week Plan for Optimal Fertility is entitled, Identifying and Eliminating Your Stressors, and in it, a section is dedicated to your job and the stresses it brings to your life:
So many women who are trying to conceive wonder if quitting their jobs would reduce their stress, and, therefore, […]
I know that I keep tempting you with a full book review of Fully Fertile: A 12-Week Plan for Optimal Fertility, but the more I read, the more I think it makes sense to share some of the “a ha!” moments it provides to me, as they are happening. Look for several of these this […]
In a good way.
I was so pleased to see this appear in the online version of today’s Wall Street Journal. The post was in response to this Sunday’s New York Times Magazine which discusses the decline of birth rates and its implications. I LOVE the title of the WSJ post:

I confess. I have a stack of summer reading to do and I have been avoiding all of the titles that are fertility-related. Because I just haven’t been ready to focus on my own fertility until we got some things out of the way first.
But now I am ready to crack them open again. Start […]
There she goes again, talking about the need for insurance coverage for fertility treatments. What a broken record.
Yes, you’re right. It is a topic I cover often here - this crazy notion that your reproductive health is just as important as other (covered) aspects of your health and well-being.
But, I do find great comfort […]
Somebody buy me this. Please.
I stumbled across this site, utterly by accident and now I want everything they have in stock.
What’s even better than the bumper sticker? It’s description:
Barren. We love that phrase! Dripping with piteous condescension, really.
