1992 - Woman stuff

Well I found this article on Yahoo News about 'What Americans Really think About Abortion'. Read that if you want to. But the story had a link to a Live Science article about '10 Odd Facts About the Female Body'.



I should just leave that as my post but it's way to short. So, the first article has quite a few more links to look at. The second one has links also but it appears not nearly as many.

OK OK, here's one of the 10 things...


Pinpointing pregnancy isn't so simple - 
You can't be a little bit pregnant … but most women are considered pregnant before they've even conceived. Doctors typically measure pregnancy starting from the first day of the last menstrual period, because most of the time, women aren't sure exactly what day they conceived, but they can remember their last period. It's also not possible to detect the moment of fertilization, and pregnancy can't be confirmed until the developing embryo implants on the uterine wall (that's why at-home pregnancy tests aren't very accurate until at least a week after a missed period).

The Live Science site seems to not want to let you go. You may have to shut the window down to get away from it. (Unless it's just IE8 acting weird.)

Heidi - It's the stuff they don't tell you in school.
