Rachel, commenting here rather than on your own blog – OMG what a story about your early embarrassment.

I wasn’t told until it happened. I had no idea what was going on really but on some level I knew it was something natural. I was at home from school for lunch and told my mum, who sorted me out with the goodies. I remember she’d obviously told Dad – nothing was ever said but he came and cupped his hand round my face so tenderly. His beloved little girl was growing up.

I’m so pleased that your problems were finally affirmed and have been thinking of you during your recovery from the op.

PS: I just remembered: when I was told that this unwanted hair was something that happened during puberty, I naturally assumed it would go away again after I’d gone through puberty. Logical, really. I waited a long time…

I love Rachel more than I can ever tell her… and I love her emotional honesty and dignity.

Another GREAT resource for young women is “The Day Aunt Flo Comes To Visit” written my Dr. Janell Carroll.

I have given it to several friends who are preparing their “talk” with their daughters.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful and touching story. I remember that age, of course, and the awkwardness it seemingly required. Thank you also for looking at this new phase of your life as a freedom.

Rachel, thank you so much for sharing your story as part of this series. I really am so honored.

I also celebrate with you, this “letting go” of the past — and expecting with you great things in your future.
