There's a Supplement for That?
Pills in a cup I'm a little granola crunchy. Ok. I lie. I'm a lot of granola crunchy . Western medicine has failed me so many times that I could dedicate an entire website to it. But Western medicine is the reason my son is alive and I'm a HUGE fan of NaPRO Technology , so I'm not anti-Western medicine. I just tend towards going a natural route first. I completely understand why women turn to dietary changes (for the record I am 100% on board with that) and supplements to cu

The Creighton Model offered me hope and healing
Daria and Karoline have shared how the Creighton model has impacted their lives. I want to share my own journey. My cycles were always irregular. I had what I thought were “light periods” of brown bleeding very often. Only some months would I have periods. It was confusing, but I didn’t know what to do about it. While I was in college, I woke up one night in horrible pain. I convinced my parents to drive me to the urgent care in the morning. I didn’t know how to describe the

I'm too busy to chart... And does that even matter?
I'm too busy to chart. It's just one. more. thing. And it didn't get done again this month. I can't have one more thing on my plate clamoring for my time and attention. How much of this do I actually have to do for it to count? Will it still "work" if I get it done sometimes but not all of the time? You can do this I get it. Life feels nuts right now. I'm right there with you. Here's a slight perspective shift that might help. Have you ever been so busy that you didn't go to

If you can talk about this, you can talk about most anything!
Cervical mucus. It might a little uncomfortable for people to talk about or think about but as we like to say: if you can discuss cervical mucus, you can discuss anything. So consider this your opportunity! Cervical mucus is a very important symptom that you can easily learn to observe and be aware of and in doing so get lots of valuable information about your health. The more in tune you are with your body and it's normal functions, and the deviations thereof, the more you
