 | I love almost everything about this book. The cartoons are brilliant: the switch from “contented cow” to “psycho bitch”, and the way they show how fallopian tubes sift sperm (though the tail should have come off the sperm once it entered the egg) and the “flames of creation” cartoon about stretch marks. The writing style is funny, friendly and informative. The “adventure moments” do a neat job of acknowledging people’s different circumstances and preferences. Kate Evans is very sympathetic to those wanting a baby and experiencing fertility problems. How it hurts to want a baby. |
 Checking cervical fluid is one of the things that can put people right off using fertility awareness as contraception.
Of course we shouldn't hate our bodies and what comes out of them. Cervical fluid is very cool stuff. And yet it can seem like a bit of a hassle. Do you have to use a scoring system for stretch, colour and texture? Do you have to buy a speculum kit from the lovely people at the Beautiful Cervix Project? |
