There are basically three differences between men and women’s fertility, though God only knows how many other types of differences there are (we’ll just have to save that for another blog). For starters, boys aren’t born with any sperm at all. They only start producing them when they reach puberty. Girls, on the other hand, are born with all [...]
I certainly never set out to write a 500+ page book on women’s reproductive health over 20 years ago. Frankly, I would just as soon sit around eating bon bons and reading People Magazine. Well, OK, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration. But I felt I really had no choice after the zillionth passionate student in my Fertility Awareness classes [...]
You know the drill . . . you meet a stranger in the course of a day, and one of the first questions you usually ask each other is along the lines of “And what do you do?” As soon as I mention that I’m a women’s health author specializing in fertility, invariably I’ll get any number of [...]
For those of you who may be snickering at the acronym above, all I have to say is that you are clearly more current on sexual lingo than I apparently am. I had no idea what “FAP” alluded to until I recently mentioned how excited I was that there was finally going to be a professional organization to [...]
We as women are so used to experiencing various types of pains and discomforts during our cycles that we may lose sight of what is normal versus what merits seeing a health practitioner. Of course, the benefit of learning about Fertility Awareness and charting your cycle is that you become acutely aware of what signs to be concerned about. [...]

To help you visualize this concept, see page 16 of the color insert [...]
Two adult siblings are heatedly discussing their respective fertility. The 31 year-old sister says to her 28 year-old brother: You know, men have it so much easier than women. After all, men produce sperm every single day from the time of puberty until they die. Women, on the other hand, are only fertile the few days around the time [...]
Stuffed and mangled manila envelopes packed with all manner of research studies etc. would only get us so far back in the ‘80s. Ultimately, the founding members of the secular Fertility Awareness Network realized that in order to learn all we could from each other, we’d have to meet in person. But because we didn’t have the benefit of [...]
I’ll never forget the phone call I got back in the’80s just a couple weeks before I was scheduled to do a presentation for engaged couples on a religious weekend retreat. It had come to their attention that I was single, so they felt they had no choice but to cancel my lecture because I [...]
Instead of begrudging the fact that you waste an inordinate amount of time each week in the grocery line, why not put that time to good use? Embrace a paradigm shift and decide that the longer the line is, the more opportunity you’ll have to make sex better for both you and your partner. How? [...]
