Midwife Morgan and a sex therapist Laura join Jessica and Sarah to discuss The Cycle Book (available now!). The authors share frustrations with lack of data privacy of many digital tracking apps - as well as concerns about the inaccuracy of information provided!

Laura also shares her experience returning to birth control and coping with PMDD and Morgan discusses her endometriosis and anemia management. Each was motivated to create The Cycle Book when conversations with clients revealed recurring missing information…. “When people are trying to conceive…they are often surprised to find out that the 14 day thing isn't necessarily real, and the getting pregnant at any moment is most definitely not real, that it's actually just a very tiny little window.” Learn more of what you didn’t know you didn’t know - on this month’s FLOW.
