What is just as much fun as our monthly Tweet Chats?
Answer. Our GIVEAWAYS!!!
On April 13th, 2012 Be Prepared Period and You ARE Loved will come together to host a special Get to Know Your Menstrual Cycle event! We are proud to announce we have two special guests, Dr. Joan Moon of Women’s Health Dynamics and Alison Sanchez of Feby.com joining us this month.
To help promote the event and encourage participation Dr. Joan Moon has generously donated 3 CDs titled “A Woman’s World: Discovering the Dynamic Menstrual Cycle” for us to give away to 3 very lucky participants.
The CD includes:
• Illustrations, both computer graphic and photo, of the anatomy of the female reproductive system
• Animation showing the dynamic cyclic nature of the menstrual cycle in a woman as it goes from the brain to the ovaries to the endometrial lining of the uterus
• Animation of ovulation, nonfertilization and fertilization of the egg with subsequent impact on the endometrial lining of the uterus, fertilization of the egg resulting in cell division and implantation of the embryo in the endometrial lining
• Graphs with time series of the hormones as they increase and decrease throughout the cycle
• Narration of the script. The script is also at the side of each page enabling the viewer to read as well as hear the narration
• Puzzles – cross-word, word scramble, picture
“A Woman’s World is an excellent resource for women of all ages. Dr. Moon has used her creativity to make the physiology of the female reproductive system tangible, logical and interactive.”
~ Alison Moriarty Daley, MSN, APRN, PNP-BC Associate Professor, Yale University School of Nursing
“I just watched “Discovering the Dynamic Menstrual Cycle” with my teenage daughter. We both agreed that it was very informative and a terrific learning-tool. I enjoyed sharing this special moment with my daughter, and learning about the extraordinary potential of the female anatomy with her. Thank you for sharing your amazing CD with us.”
~ Cindi Baum & daughter
“The CDs are awesome! The information is clearly and artistically presented with an opportunity for fun interactive learning. They should be a welcome addition to teachers, care providers and women of all ages but particularly to mothers who have difficulty explaining to their children the wonders of the magnificent but complex natural design of the female body.”
~ Kitty Ernst, CNM , MPH, DSc (hon) Past President, American College of Nurse Midwives Founder of American Association of Birth Centers

I’m wondering exactly how the blood builds up. I feel like I understand the rest of how the cycle works, but I don’t understand how exactly this happens.
Thanks for your support and help! This is avery important topic for every girl(woman)! Great job
I am interested in learning about how the menstrual cycle is supposed to work as mine is not what is typically considered normal.
I love the free downloads, games & puzzles! The whole site is just fabulous!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful resource!
looking forward to finding ways to help educate my daughter…like the games and puzzles
I’d like to learn more about the luteal phase of cycles.
I really like that they have games/puzzles ~ a great resource for those of us who have been doing this for a while and those brand new to it.
