Can Your Hormone Creams Give Your Guy, Your Child, Or Your Cat Boobs?
Lissa Rankin, June 9, 2011
Ever since the data from the Women’s Health Initiative demonstrated the risks of taking the synthetic hormones PremPro and Premarin, the use of topical hormones, especially compounded bio-identical hormone creams popularized by people like Suzanne Somers, have surged. Because topical hormones (applied to the skin) bypass the “first pass effect” through the liver, they are believed to be safer, with fewer risks. So patches like the Vivelle Dot, sprays like Eva-Mist, and estrogen creams and gels like those made at compounding pharmacies have become all the rage these days.

Lissa Rankin, October 5, 2010
October is breast cancer awareness month, when we all pay homage to boobs, shining a light on the need to prevent and cure breast cancer. As an OB/GYN, author of What’s Up Down There? Questions You’d Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was Your Best Friend, and a professional artist who cast the torsos of women with breast cancer for my touring Woman Inside Project, I’m devoted to empowering women to love, honor, respect, and know their breasts. When I was writing my book, I solicited the anonymous questions women would only ask if their gynecologist was their BFF, and reviewing the answers, I realized that 80% of what women wanted to know was some variation of the question “Am I normal?” Here, in honor of breast cancer awareness month, I want to help you understand what’s normal -- and what isn’t -- for all the boobilicious women out there who are longing to know.

Introduction: Let's Talk About Coochies and Boobs
Brrrrringgggg….The phone rings. Caller ID says it’s Chloe. I pick up.
All I hear are giggles. Then a snort, followed by a cackle.
“Chloe?” I say.
Chloe snorts again. I shake my head and smile.
I hear someone yell, “Don’t say vagina so loud!”
They’ve done this before. Chloe and Piper are in Manhattan celebrating some girl time away from the kids, obviously talking about sex over a few cocktails. Whenever they think up questions about their girl parts, they call me. They are my best friends, and I am a gynecologist.

Oh, my electric breast pump,
My enemy, my friend.
How I yearn for but also dread
Our insecure attachment’s end.
Not All Pregnant Women Glow
Heather Sobieralski, June 18, 2010
I was not a glowing and happy pregnant mama. I viewed pregnancy more as cruel invasion. My body was not my own and this new inhabitant was not kind to me. This is the story of how my daughter got her first nickname, "Creaturella."

Not All Women are Natural Mothers
Heather Sobieralski, June 10, 2010
The beginning
I was so sick. I had been vomiting every day, several times a day for about a week. If I wasn't running to the bathroom I was laying on the couch unable to function as a result of this strange "June Flu." This flu of mine was so severe that I had even called off work a few times in the last two weeks AND this flu was so body altering that I wasn't even getting my period.
