Calling all Red Hot Mamas! Are you registered for tomorrow night's event, Preventing Pregnancy in Perimenopause? In case you had doubts, pregnancy is still possible during perimenopause since you are still ovulating! You are not out of the woods. Periods become irregular and it's tempting to become blase about using contraception. Although fertility decreases as perimenopause progresses, you are only in the pregnancy free zone when you haven't experienced a period for a minimum of 12 months. Bring your girlfriends and join other Red Hot Mamas as Dr. Heather Weldon from PeaceHealth Medical Group OB/GYN leads a frank and open discussion about practicing safe s*x during perimenopause. Tues, Sept 18, 6pm (social time), 6:30-8:00pm (physician presentation), Club Green Meadows, Vancouver.
