I certainly never set out to write a 500+ page book on women’s reproductive health over 25 years ago. Truth be told, I would’ve just as soon sat around eating bonbons and playing Scrabble. But I felt compelled to after my zillionth passionate Fertility Awareness student asked why this invaluable information wasn’t readily available anywhere [...]
If you’ve ever written a book, you know that it can be one of the most challenging, exasperating, and frustrating experiences. And those are the positive aspects of such a huge project. So after my first book was released, I thought, why not write another book? Won’t that be fun? So one day well into [...]
Who knew that the chicken scratch that I scribbled onto the back of a piece of paper from my recycling bin nearly 30 years ago would one day form the basis for my 536-page tome, Taking Charge of Your Fertility? I had already been teaching Fertility Awareness for years at that point, buoyed by the [...]
When my book was first released back in 1995, email was barely a blip on the horizon, so the only feedback I initially got came in the form of handwritten letters overflowing my stuffed PO Box at the local post office. One of the letters I received had a Russian return address. It was from [...]
Anyone who’s ever met me learns fairly quickly that I am a tad obsessed with the fascinating world of unusual multiples — be it twins, triplets, or quads. Suffice it to say, if I weren’t concerned about, oh, I don’t know, the demise of the world through the pandemic and climate change, I’d love nothing [...]

But recently, while walking around my lake listening to a podcast, I was fascinated by a young woman who was convinced that she was starting to have seizures when she read. But her doctors didn’t think [...]
When I first considered writing my book, many of you were still but an egg in your mother’s ovary, email didn’t exist, and the internet was not yet a thing. So back in the early 1990s, I had no idea that what would eventually keep me up nights these days was in many ways far [...]
The conventional wisdom is that a couple should wait to see a doctor until they’ve tried to conceive for a full year. But is that really the best advice? If you’re familiar with my teachings, you already know where I’m going with this. The answer is a resounding NO! For one thing, if a woman [...]
So let’s be honest — when you first heard the title of my book, Taking Charge of Your Fertility, what was the first thing that came to mind? Understanding the mysteries of your body? Enriching your amazing sexuality? Avoiding pregnancy naturally? Increasing your chances of conceiving? If you are like virtually all women, you probably [...]
With all the misinformation out there today, it’s amazing anyone is ever able to trust what they hear. And while some facts can be completely wrong (you mean, Abraham Lincoln wasn’t our first president?), the repercussions of the misinformation aren’t that big a deal. But if a couple is trying to avoid a pregnancy, for [...]
