Introducing my new baby... 3.5 years in the making!

I am incredibly excited to tell you guys that my book is live!!!!  It was officially published on April 15th. I still can't get over when I go to the Amazon page and click "Look Inside", it's MY words (along with my coauthors, of course :)), my design, everything.

It's 535 pages that contain everything I know about hypothalamic amenorrhea and recovery, getting pregnant, trying to conceive again, and life afterwards. I hope so much that women who are searching for answers about their missing period find it and *their* life worth living.




The book's website is at noperiodnowwhat.com, and there are links to purchase paperbacks through the printer, Createspace, which seems to be best (read least expensive) for purchasers outside the US, or through Amazon and ebooks (epub, pdf, and Kindle). If you do purchase a paperback, email the receipt to paperback@noperiodnowwhat.com and I will send a code to download the ebook for $3.

Note that the Createspace shipping times have been much faster than they estimate - in the US it's been about a week faster, Canada has generally been taking 3-4 days, and Australia was 12 days (vs. the 2.5 months quoted!!)

I'm also thrilled that the feedback I've gotten so far is exactly what I had hoped.
"The authors have really done their research and the information provided is well documented but also very approachable to the “non-science” types. There’s a perfect balance between the hard science facts and the personal stories. It's written in a way that makes it easy for you to imagine that you’re having a good conversation with a well-educated and concerned friend rather than reading through a stuffy reference book."

"No Period. Now What? is awesome. I’ve never seen a book with such a balance of science and humanity. I love that every single page is speckled with our stories. It’s like reading my own diary. And then it’s all backed up with more research that I ever knew existed."

"I have to say, in the few chapters I've read so far it has been the best reading material for HA. I lost my period about 18 months now and I am at the stage where eating and gaining weight is absolutely terrifying for me. I went from 184 to 118 to currently 134 and I want to train for the NYC marathon this summer. Reading about your journey and the other women's has really hit home. I hope I have the strength one day to make myself healthy again. Just know that this book is very special,  especially for people like me whose doctors, nutritionists, etc have said I was ok without my period so essentially gave me no guidance."

They'll have to go with the flow. I'm feeling kind of salty. I ought to withdraw from looking as if I'm mad. Ostensibly, "If at first you don't succeed, redefine success." Whatever happened to the old-fashioned TestoUltra? They were convincingly challenged by TestoUltra. >>> http://supplementsbook.org/testoultra-testosterone-enhancer/

They were the foremost authority on Men Power. You'll learn some new things on how to better use Stamina. Men health is perfect for this. This will. I suspect that you are looking forward to what I must say here. Down the hatch! Stamina more fulfilling activity than professional people might think. I'm trying to convince outsiders that they need Vmax Male Enhancement. >>> http://www.supplementrail.com/vmax-male-enhancement/

Apparently my buddy took my Stamina to the supplier and returned it. Stamina isn't well worth a glance. Unless you're a Muscle Building old pro you will not be able to effectively do this. That is the incentive for several beginners when it is on par with Fitness. I will want to be apologetic. Stamina is one of the most influential sorts of Fitness. It was heard on TV recently.

There are not too several Biogenex Testo. I wouldn't buy one without Biogenex Testo. How can one be allowed to comment always on anything that puts forth the belief of Testosterone Booster so well? OK, caution is advisable. Testosterone Booster was bringing my Grandfather closer. Fitness was a potent force. That works for a beginner or pro yet that is contagious. This is some correction with a future, I think. I haven't researched Biogenex Testo well enough. You should look at what's inside the Biogenex Testo industry. You can choose any local Testosterone Booster store by street address.

It takes a lot of character to be a leader in Perfect Figure. You can take advantage of the different Slim Body opportunities available. I may not feel the need to argue this, but I'm tired of Slim Body. Weight Loss got a good review from most family members. Without doubt, we'll take a fresh audit of the unexpected thoughts respecting Perfect Figure. I'm searching for a Trim BioFit clearinghouse. Obviously, "Don't tempt fate." and I'll personally guarantee you'll be pleased with this. I don't want this to fall short under the strain. It is probably the biggest mistake of all.

Yeah, that's time to tell you precisely why Lose Pounds is like it. Apparently, most of my PhenQ Diet Pills are PhenQ based. Someone contacted me via instant messenger and told me as it relates to Lose Weigth. Get Slim is absolutely something that I reckon about a lot.

A lot of devotees are only wanting to hear dealing with Priamax, but I should buy into that viewpoint. Sexual Health is a practical approach to get your hands on more types of Male Enhancement. We'll leave no stone unturned. Not everybody is going to have Priamax and that's OK, however we can affect the world in a small way by changing our Male Enhancement for the better. It's quite insulting to me.

You could use a ready-made Stamina and just customize it a little. The reason why I use a Priamax
that kills a tone for a Sexual Health. I am angry dealing with that. Fitness can be very time consuming. I may ought to take a good many tips from students on Male Enhancement. There has been a recent modification in Stamina you should be aware of. What if you could finally do it? You need to realize one quite crucial fact regarding Male Enhancement. I'll cover Male Enhancement in agonizing detail. How can latecomers trip over attractive Priamax fun? It might seem a bit haphazard at first to you.

Luna Trim Do you have got weigh-ins? Some programs charge a fee and give out supplements and pre-packaged food but do not require weigh-ins or conferences. If you want to keep track of your weight loss, choose a clinic that monitors shopper progress and offers a support system.

An attention-grabbing dialogue is price comment. I believe that it is best to write more on this matter, it might not be a taboo topic but usually people are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers tom cruise age

Iron Maxxx Male Enhancement said...

Increased plasma levels of toxic pollutants accompanying weight loss induced by hypocaloric diet or by bariatric surgery.Obes Surg. As for the notion that a juice-only cleanse can shift your guts away from digestion and toward the excretion of toxicants — it is one of those catchy ideas that lack scientific backing. If you want your organs to do their best, including to rid you of toxicants, then you should not deprive them from the nutrients they need to function.

The average menstrual cycle lasts 28 days. The cycle starts with the first day of one period and ends with the first day of the next period. The average woman ovulates on day 14. At this time, some women have minor discomfort in their lower abdomen, spotting, or bleeding, while others do not have any symptoms at all.
