In her books, The Garden of Fertility (2004) and Honoring Our Cycles (2006), Katie Singerintroduces Fertility Awareness (also called Natural Family Planning).With these methods, a woman who charts her temperature and cervical mucus can know when she is fertile and infertile. A woman who charts her fertility signs can also know whether she is ovulating or miscarrying. You can learn remedies for problems like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and fertility. |

C E R V I X C H A N G E S First published in 1981, A New View of a Woman's Body by the Federation of Feminist Women's Health Centers (with illustrations by Suzann Gage) presents pictures of women's cervixes by photographer Sylvia Morales. I'm delighted to post these images with permission from the Federation, because they show, clearly, how a woman's cervix and cervical fluid (also called CF or mucus) change throughout her menstrual cycle. Three notes. First, while these photographs certainly give a fuller picture of the menstrual cycle, they don't explain how to observe your own fertility signals, or how to use charts to prevent pregnancy or gauge gynecological health. To learn Fertility Awareness, take a class and/or buy Toni Weschler's Taking Charge of Your Fertility. My book, which will come out next January, will also include comprehensive information on how to observe and chart your fertility signals, and how to use charts to prevent or achieve pregnancy and to gauge gynecological health. Second, A New View of a Woman's Body has been reissued by the Feminist Health Press, and can be ordered for $19.95, PLUS shipping & handling--$4.00 for your first book, .75 for each additional copy. California residents also need to add 8.25% for sales tax. Send check, money order, or use VISA/Mastercard, with checks addressed to Feminist Health Press, 8240 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90046 (213.650.1508; fax 213.848.9402). If you're outside the U.S., shipping & handling is $7.95 for each item shipped via sea, and $15.95 for each item shipped via air. Send international money orders, foreign checks drawn on U.S. banks only, or use VISA/Mastercard. Last, the Federation of Feminist Health Centers posts a website that includes these photos (and much, much more): www.womenshealthspecialists.org.
