Alotta Fachina

I think Beyonce or Destiny's Child really needs to write a song about "Taking Charge of Your Fertility." I can hear it now, "All the woman who are gettin' pregnant, throw your hands up at meeee!"

This book should be required reading for anyone that falls into one of these categories:

- you are trying to get pregnant
- you are trying to NOT get pregnant
- you have a vagina
- you are in a relationship with someone that has a vagina

After 2 friends (one who is trying to get pregnant, and another who is trying NOT to) recommended this to me, I finally put it on hold at the library. I could not put this book down and read it all in one day. I wish someone would have told me about this stuff, oh, say 15 years ago (and I had what I thought was a pretty comprehensive sex education). But...better late than never, I suppose. Jesus Christ.

Srsly.

I have recently read about this book, but thought it sounded kind of.... I don't know, a bit too much, too much? However, if it is that fascinating, I may just decide to get it.

Alotta Fachina, INDEED.

Apparently I have a Chinese fan of my blog...


I found the book to be helpful for many reasons and recommend it to anyone that has a fachina. Even if you don't end up charting your fertility (I haven't yet, but I may some day), I think it's good information to know about yourself. They give you a lot of shortcuts, so by the end, it doesn't seem overwhelming but actually seems really easy. The book covers many topics, not just charting and fachinas, but a range of topics related to women's health.

I bet it's available at your library if you don't want to actually buy it.
