The purpose of this page is to educate you about everything you missed out on in middle school and high school sex education class.   If you don't know what a healthy cycle looks like it can be hard to tell if you have a problem.  And in order to be your own health advocate you should understand how your body works.

Most of what I know about my body's reproductive system I learned when I was experiencing infertility!  <em><strong>Sex education</strong></em> in school was probably supposed to teach me about my body but back then I really only cared about the "important stuff" in a teenager's life.  The thing is depending where you're at in life, what becomes interesting and important to you changes!

To be honest when I started really learning about my reproductive system I had already been menstruating for 16 years!  I got my period at age 12 and began my infertility journey when I was 28 years old.  All that time I didn't even realize that I was anovulatory...but that's another story.  The point is, I was embarrassed at how little I knew.  I know there are tons of women in the same boat and if you have young daughters they are headed in the same direction.  I've noticed a number of visitors to my blog are looking for some basic but really important information about what a normal reproductive system is. I was reading book reviews about Toni Weschler's book, "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" and so many women were saying the same thing - they finally realized how little they knew about their own bodies.
