Never again. --Samantha Bee New York Times bestselling author of The Menopause Manifesto and the world's most famous and outspoken gynecologist (The Guardian) fights myths and fearmongering with real science, inclusive facts, and shame-free advice on the topic that impacts more than 72 million Americans every month: menstruation.

And while both are important for many people, those who menstruate deserve to know more about their bodies than just what happens in service to reproduction. At a time when charlatans, politicians, and social media are succeeding in propagating damaging misinformation with real and devastating consequences, Dr. Jen provides the antidote with science, myth busting, and no-nonsense facts, along with answers all your period-related questions, plus essential information about topics such as: * The fascinating biology of menstruation \n* Menstrual migraines, PMS, and period diarrhea (yes, it's a thing, unfortunately) \n*Vaccines and menstruation \n*Legitimate menstrual products, and the facts behind toxic shock syndrome \n*Painful periods and endometriosis \n*Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) \n*Debunking social media disinformation about contraception \nBlood is about much more than biology.
