Calling All Gynecologists

Menstrual cycles can be baffling,

and thats why I really wanted to make this special poster explaining this special time of the month, mostly so I can justify to my poor husband
exactly why I am feeling totally insane. Its not me, honey, its the progesterone spiking, or, Can you understand now why Im being a total
bee-yatch? Ive got at least five different hormones coursing through my body right now. Im on drugs. Marvel at the leuteinizing hormone! Be
amazed as the estrogen takes a nosedive right before ovulation! Check out the egg as it takes its long journey through your reproductive system!
Anyway, check it out and give me feedback calling all OB/GYNs! Editors! Anatomy nuts! Sex educators! before I send this thing to the printer.
I know its a little crazy-looking, design-wise, but then again, sos the menstrual cycle.

thanks for all the great comments on when pms happens, we got that correction, and changed that area to head full of hormones instead
since hormone hell comes later. we also adjusted the thing about progesterone and mucous, youre absolutely right about progesterones
role with the lining. agreed also with your philosophical notes, we are all just giant walking chemistry sets, and i think thats pretty cool,
whether youre a man or a woman.

LOL!!!! Hilarious. Love it. The only thing I would add is a little disclaimer that This cycle is subject to change, depending on health, age,
stress, or plain hormonal crazinessfor more info on the changing cycle, consult your local fertility awareness guru.
May I have permission to post this on my blog?

This is really cute and helpfull, but Im still confused on one thing that I have been wondering for alittle bit now and would like it answered if
any one could
. If you have sex on about day 25 or 26 and you get knocked up, will your period still come for that month or will you miss that period
(pregnant). And if you get your period for that month is there a possibilty that just from having sex on day 25 or 26 that the next month you
wont get your period (pregnant).
