Read the opening

From chapter 1, "The Calendar". Every guide is written like a story, with real research behind it.

Sunday, 10:00am. Amara's kitchen. A wall calendar covered in coloured dots.

Amara had been tracking for three months: her cycle, her energy, her mood and her desire, each marked with a different coloured dot. Now she stood back and looked at the pattern like a detective at an evidence wall.

"Emeka," she called. "Come and look. I have seasons."

Emeka wandered in holding toast. "Seasons?"

"Look. Right before my period, grey dots. Tired, cranky, no desire. After my period, green dots. Energy comes back. Then around the middle of my cycle, look at all the pink dots! Desire goes up. Then it drops again."

Emeka studied the calendar with his engineer's frown. "So there is a... forecast."

"There is a forecast!"

AmaraJide! My desire has seasons. I have proof. With dots.
JideTolu says the same! She says the week before her period she wants to "be left alone with a blanket and a snack," and the middle of the month she is "a different woman."
AmaraThe different woman is ovulation.
JideI want to meet her more often.
AmaraShe comes once a month, Jide. Like a special guest.
