I loved discovering that book -- almost ten years ago or so. I used it for birth control for years before trying to conceive. I love knowing that I almost ALWAYS ovulate on day 13, but that I conceived my first son on day 18 of my cycle and my second son on day 11... I thought I had heard something about her writing a book for teens, but I didn't find anything online about it. Too bad. I wish I had read this book so much earlier in my life -- and I, too, share it with many of my women friends. P.S. Laureen -- I wanted to let you know that I found your blog through the continuum concept list (and also the big EC list). Hi! I know, I know, I know!

Awesome book--so glad I found it. I buy it for every female friend I have who expresses doubt about what's going on with her body. Can't conceive? Get the book. Irregular cycles? Get the book. Sick of pills? Get the book! This should be required reading for ALL middle school and high school girls. Perhaps a watered down version should be written for those age groups! I, too, didn't feel right about pills at some point even prior to conceiving our daughter. I'm so glad that something finally clicked and I'll never go back. ;) YES! Awesome book–so glad I found it.

I was so angry. I should have saved years of stupid pills and having my hormones played. I should have had the Basic Knowledge of how my body actually works. When my daughters are old enough to understand, I can't wait to share it with them!
