Well, it's no secret that we have a deep appreciation for the benefits of charting our cycles, but let's be real - sometimes it just sucks! Charting is more than putting marks on the paper or app and making observations. It has an effect on life and life has an effect on it and Emily's story illustrates this really well.
In this episode, Mary interviews Emily about her expectations about sex going into marriage, how that played out, the pressure of needing to avoid a pregnancy, sharing the responsibility, the mental health importance of finding the right method for each individual woman, and when Emily wanted to stop charting.
