Are you ever working on some random health issue and feel like you just. can’t. get. anywhere? I have felt the same way. Unfortunately for me, I’ve fallen into the trap of trying to make my diet more and more perfect. Sound familiar? The diet trap is common because diet is super easy to control…. Read More
There’s an app for that [natural birth control style]
I think we are basically accustomed to having an app for everything by now. I actually don’t even have a smart phone (I know, what the hell, right?) and have come up with plenty of my own app ideas. Just a couple of weeks ago I was daydreaming about this perfect app for spacing out… Read More
What’s a typical day like when using fertility awareness?
Does it surprise you to hear that, other than the fact that my business is dedicated to teaching the sympto-thermal method of fertility awareness, I actually give very little thought to charting each day? I probably spend 2 minutes, tops, charting my cycle while I am fertile (about 9 days or so for me) and… Read More
Why most period products suck and what you can use instead
When it comes to assaults on our health, women have a special place in our society. We have products specially made for us, or pushed on us that are not at all conducive to good health. Here are some examples (and perhaps ones that I will write on more in depth in a future article):… Read More
The surprising signs from your body that can produce an effective natural birth control method
Women are only fertile for part of their cycle. You may have been taught otherwise as a teen, but it’s true. We only ovulate once per cycle and the egg only lives for 12-24 hours. Does that surprise you? If the egg is only alive for 12-24 hours, how does anyone get pregnant, right? But… Read More

Can you get pregnant from period sex?
The fact that you are even asking this question is good in one way: You know that you are not fertile for your entire cycle. Hooray! I’m going to let you in on one of the few things that I “learned” about periods and menstrual cycles (before I learned anything about fertility awareness). I was… Read More
Appreciating menstruation: An interview with Alexandra Pope
Today I have an interview with Alexandra Pope of Red School. The interview is a little longer than a normal blog post, but has a bunch of stuff you don’t want to miss, like: How the menstrual cycle is the best self-care tool you could ask for Why body literacy is as vital as (just… Read More
Falling in Love With my Fertility: Cassie’s story
This is the first guest post in a series of guest posts relaying different women’s personal stories about their decision to use and journey using the fertility awareness method. I never really questioned being on the pill. All of my girlfriends were on it. My doctor, while I did complain to her about my migraines… Read More
The best herbs for hormonal health and fertility
Herbs can be a tricky thing to navigate. On one hand, they are supposed to be pretty benign, right? But on the other hand, they can be some massively powerful drugs. I like to use herbs sometimes, but since I don’t have a huge depth of knowledge about them I only use what are considered… Read More
