Just Why? I ask myself that all the time

So many other women saying they wish they had this sooner.. and I’m on that train.
Since this topic is personal by nature, I’m just going to go for it here. I have been on birth control since I was 16 and I’m now 33. I decided to stop taking it in case I want kids and it’s not easy.

Whether you’re just starting your menstrual cycle or you’re any age, really, this book contains so much great information! It’s a fantastic resource for a topic that is uncomfortable to talk about, at least for me.

I would recommend.

Wish I had this when I was a teen!

I came across this book just as my niece was starting menstruating and having a lot of anxiety about it. I am so glad that someone has written about this subject with such care and in-depth research! Even thought all women menstruate, there are lots of misconceptions, stigmas, and misinformation on the subject. I particularly appreciated the section on daily practices women can do to make their period days more emotionally manageable. I wish I had had a guide like this when I was a teen and look forward to gifting this to my niece.

What's going on with your body—and why it matters!

I was surprised by how much I learned. As a woman, I thought I already know a lot about periods. The author did a really great job of explaining how hormones are affecting our bodies and minds, which is something that I don't think most people know about or truly understand. She also goes into the science behind all of it, which was really fascinating for me. Highly recommended!!!

Life changing!

I would highly recommend this book!! It’s given me an entirely new approach on how to deal with my menstrual cycle that makes total sense! In fact I think everyone with a cycle should listen this!

The information and views are invaluable, and written in a way that is really easy to understand, with some brilliant metaphors which really bring it to life. As well as offering excellent advice with regards to harnessing the power of the menstrual cycle, for me it’s been a lesson in female sexuality and just understanding my whole body.

Fascinating in so many ways.

Some info I knew, some I didn't

Love everything about this book. The cultural myth busters were extra fun and, dare I say, comical. I especially appreciated the adult, education approach to EVERYTHING; no silly "down there" or "wee-wee" talk in this book! As a 47-yo woman, I especially enjoyed the information on hormones, fertility and the changes one's body goes through with/ or without external hormone therapies. The symptoms made compete sense and I feel like I can return to this book over and over again with specific questions. The narrator was pleasant to listen to as well. Highly recommend!

Such a great book!

I picked up this book for my niece and she was so grateful! If you are looking for a simple resource that demystifies the menstrual cycle, gives helpful suggestions on how to manage your pain and discomfort during your period and explains exactly what is happening to your body, hormones and emotions during this time, this book is for you. Highly recommend.

Great addition!!!

The book is well written, and very informative, the passion and knowledge found through the text added depth and enjoyment. The reproductive system is a complex system, and not every woman is the same which makes it even more mysterious. This book is packed with straight-forward advice and explains in layman terms the concerns that a woman could have about her menstrual cycle. I believe this will make a great gift for teens, can even be given or thought in school as part of a curriculum. Great addition to any collection. Well done

Periods...

I wish this book was out when I was younger. Audiobooks are so much easier to take in information. Information that's also not just important but necessary if you're a woman who still has to go through the struggles of your menstrual cycle. It's an unfortunate and often times uncomfortable part of a woman's life, but this book is a great guide to help you get through it.

Very helpful audiobook

I found this audiobook and accompanying PDF very helpful, especially practices to help you feel relaxed during your period. Great guide to learn and recognize what is happening to your body and emotions during periods.

Listen for relief

My partner wanted more information as to why she was suffering so much during her time. This brilliant, sympathetic, and informal audio title layed out the fundamental knowledge she needed to know to guide her on her journey. Highly recommended for those searching for knowledge!

It’s ok

A very basic understanding of the menstrual cycle. Some information is the kinda stuff I got when I was young that honestly made me even more embarrassed to have a period.
It DOES give you a really simple understanding of it all though so if that’s what you are looking for… this book is for you!

disappointing

sadly very superficial and medicalised, the narrators voice adds to how patronising all of it sounds.

Worth it

So, I was drawn to this book by the title. I was nearing my period and I get grumpy when that time of the month nears so I figured, what the hell! I added it to my list. Then parked it there for a while until, trying to distract myself from cramps, I started listening to it and immediately wished I had started earlier. The author's approach makes the book so interesting to listen to and the information makes it worth every penny. I don't think I ever understood periods as I do now.

Very Informative!!!

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook.

It was well researched by the author.

Learnt a lot from this audiobook.

Highly Recommended to all ladies.

So relatable

I absolutely hate periods. I am a monster when I'm menstruating so this was super helpful to get my hormones in check. I loved everything about this book.

Great advice

I found this to be very helpful and informative with my cycle and I'm not as anxious about it anymore because I feel confident from what I've learned :)

Educative book

This book is extremely informative and is a great benefit for all women. As well as young girls entering womanhood. The narrator is great. The books answers all questions you need to know about periods

Highly recommend this book

This book is a must for all women. Especially anyone struggling with PMT or anyone that finds that time of the month difficult. I will be recommending this book to my friends as a must read! Worth every penny. Be a thoughtful gift for some one as well. I highly recommend you read this book.

The book all women needs!

Interesting and informative book. The introduction reminds me of when my period started and how confuses I feel at that time; chapter by chapter, the book explains the science behind the nature of the period. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a woman or knows a woman.

SO intertesting

I have always been aware of my body and what it goes though as a woman, but this book enlightens me so much on many things. It's an absolute must-read especially for young girls, it has taken me years to get to know what I know today i wish i had this book when i was a teenager, even till now it has taught me a few things! i especially love the facts i couldn't believe some of them. must-read for anyone who wants to know more about their body, or has a teenager daughter wanting to know more
