Our Red Book: Intimate Histories of Periods, Growing & Changing

I’m glad you’re feeling calmer! No stress about pelvic floor therapy before surgery, but if it’s easy to get an appointment just to establish care, that’s great.

That’s such a bummer, but don’t be afraid to take initiative to educate yourself through affirming sources.
