Women's Reproductive Health

Each ebook brings together 50 first-person accounts of one condition or treatment. There are books on endometriosis and excision surgery, PCOS, adenomyosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, vulvodynia, pelvic floor problems and prolapse, and on the abnormal smear result that leads to treatment for cervical dysplasia. Women write plainly about symptoms they were told to live with, appointments where they were not believed, and the practical business of managing bleeding, pain and fatigue while holding down a job.

Fertility and pregnancy run through the collection as well. You will find stories of IVF and IUI cycles, egg freezing, at-home hormone testing, ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage, high-risk pregnancy, caesarean recovery and VBAC, and hysterectomy from the decision through to the years afterwards. Some end in a baby, some do not, and the books do not pretend otherwise. Partners, mothers and friends read them to understand what someone they love is going through. Every book downloads immediately as a PDF and an EPUB.
