*** SIGGY WARNING***  It's been a while and I don't even know if I updated it before I stopped frequenting this site.  If its there - sorry.

**************************************************************************************************************

Hi Ladies,  I still think of all the ladies on here very often - I'm from a couple years back so I doubt anyone remembers me.  If you had to recommend one book, article, website, or anything to help a new girl JUST getting started with this whole process and who has NO clue, what would you recommend?  Like someone starting their search but they honestly don't even know when pregnancy starts, or when to try, or what happens each month/day/week of your cycle?  Like THAT basic but maybe having some great additional detailed info once they get the basics?  Its crazy to think some women are truly in the dark about their bodies.  If you had a favorite book or website or anything you would highly recommend, I'll take suggestions!  Thanks in advance!  Good luck to you all!  I might be back soon myself!

    I second this book.  If you literally have no idea how your body works and you're not a 12 yo girl, this is the book for you.

    Ditto Fertility Friend tutorials. You can sign up for their charting course and take it one module at a time with quizzes and a certificate at the end. I loved it. :)
