Calling All Gynecologists

Posted: Thursday, October 15th, 2009

menstrual-cycle-iheartgutsMenstrual cycles can be baffling, and that’s 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. “It’s not me, honey, it’s the progesterone spiking,” or, “Can you understand now why I’m being a total bee-yatch? I’ve got at least five different hormones coursing through my body right now. I’m 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 it’s a little crazy-looking, design-wise, but then again, so’s the menstrual cycle.

Glandy Winners!

Posted: Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Our in-house selection committee member (pictured) randomly picked the two lucky winners of our gland magnet contest — Elizabeth of Michigan and Joanne of Winnipeg! Congrats, ladies. Joanne works in pediatric endocrinology, so she is extra excited to get her happy glands on. Thanks to everyone who played! We hope to have another contest soon, so come back soon.
