About this deal

Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages.

After a year on the waiting list at my local NHS hospital, I embarked on the process of embryo freezing. There is a reason there are so many more women who have them in non combat situations; people who are not fighting in wars or trapped in trenches, and it's because of helplessness" In other words, what do soldiers after war have in common with women? a necessary read for anyone interested in the conversation on woman's reproductive health, trying to destigmatize it, and the everyday sexism that takes place in medicine. We non- starters used to ask each other how bad it could be, because we all knew what a stomach ache felt like.The blonde hairs on them caught in the light like fibreglass and, sitting on the grass, I wondered if I should start shaving above the knee (Mum had always said not to) like others did at school, rather than stopping at the cap. There is so much that is not understood about how our bodies react to environmental stressors, and no way to predict how that will play out in our biological functions! In 2014, during an operation I was having to free up adhesions (bands of scar tissue) that were adhering my small bowel to my womb – part of the legacy of my burst appendix and all its gangrenous, bits- of- bowel- being- removed glory – the surgeon had received my consent to do a fertility test ‘while they were there’, like a bike mechanic might check your chain while repairing your brake cables.

As the morphine flowered in my blood, I promptly vomited into one of those cardboard top hat things before the surgeon had finished talking.HORMONAL explores everything from contraception to PMS, in relation to anxiety, depression and taboos about hysteria and the ‘hormonal’ woman.
