Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Do you know your body as well as you think you do For most women, their reproductive system is just something they live with - periods happen, contraception is (or isn't) used - and it all ticks over quietly without any need for interference. Until, that is, you need to decide when to have a baby. Or when not to have a baby. You want to get pregnant. Or not to get pregnant. You need to know when you're most fertile. Or when you're least fertile. That's when you find out that, in fact, you know very little about how your body actually works. Professor Joyce Harper is an internationally recognised expert on fertility, and in Your Fertile Years she sweeps aside the myths, misconceptions and misinformation that characterise our understanding of the female reproductive system. All the information in this book is based on the latest scientific evidence and the most thorough research into every aspect of fertility, meaning you can expect authoritative and credible answers to all your questions about your menstrual cycle, your fertility, egg freezing, IVF and the best time to get pregnant. You'll also discover the truth about supplements, diet and holistic therapies - what works, and what doesn't - and the bottom line about the best age to have a baby. Designed to accompany you through your fertile years and beyond into menopause, this book gives you the guidance you need to make decisions that work for you and your body.

I'll never know whether knowing any of the things I didn't know, or doing any of the things I didn't do, would have been enough to keep Dan safe in that moment of decision, but if in reading this book my gaps are filled for you, and a difference is made for your children, then that will be more than good enough for me.'When Daniel Spargo-Mabbs was 16, he went to a party and never came home. The party was an illegal rave and Daniel - a bright, popular, big-hearted prom king - died from a fatally strong overdose of MDMA.I Wish I'd Known is the book Dan's mother Fiona - co-founder of the leading drug education charity the Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation - wishes she'd had as her intelligent, inquisitive child entered his teenage years. Because however you parent, and whatever you do, your child is very likely to be at some time or other in a situation where they have to make a decision about drugs. What if that decision is 'yes' Do they know what the risks are Do they have practical strategies they can bring to bear if things go wrong Use of illegal drugs is on the rise among teenagers, and accessing advice and support to help navigate this landscape is critical not just for them, but for you as a parent.

It explains the way the adolescent brain makes decisions and manages risk, and gives insight into how to manage important conversations through these often tricky years. There are practical strategies for staying safe, information on reducing harm, and 'talking points' providing ideas for things to do, to talk about, look at, look up or consider.Throughout the book, Daniel's story - his life, his death, and what happened afterwards - not only provides a compelling reminder of the importance of those conversations, but also serves as a beautiful, unforgettable eulogy to a son, brother, boyfriend and friend whose life continues to touch, and perhaps even save, those of other young people.
