ALL "information" received via forwarded emails is false; the things they say would always be front-page news if true, and since they were NOT front page news, they're NOT true.

- Hi Dawn,
Unlike some of the others here, I haven't had the pleasure of knowing about you or contraception.about.com before this, but I am really looking forward to following what you do there as well as on WEGO Health, and on Twitter.
It was not until I was faced with difficulties with infertility and miscarriage myself, ten years ago, that I began to fill in the blanks in my understanding of some aspects of reproductive and sexual health. I have to admit that I was horrified to realize what I didn't know. There weren't all the fantastic resources on the internet that exist today. I am now a fertility coach, covering issues such as difficulty conceiving, fertility treatment, alternative parenting and loss of fertility at menopause.
As a woman and as the mother of both a daughter just reaching puberty and a younger son, I will be looking to you for information and guidance on the issues I am sure to face. There is always more to learn.
Thank you in advance for that!
Look for me on Twitter, under yourgreatlife.
