This week, the girls ask: what is a decidual cast? Is it true our body needs different nutrients during our cycle? How TF do I learn about my cycle, I thought my period was just one week?! Don't worry, we're in our late twenties and still clueless, we weren't taught about our bodies and our cycles, and it's time to fix that! (CN: This episode contains discussion of endometriosis, inclusive talk about periods and menstruating people, and mentions of bl**d)
