I think you already posted this question in this sub. Pretty certain because my suggestion was to try {{ Please Read This Leaflet Carefully: Keep This Leaflet. You May Need to Read It Again by Karen Havelin }}
My prior suggestions stand: for nonfiction, “Safe Counsel and Practical Eugenics” by J.L. Nichols (you can read it for free at [Archive.org](http://Archive.org) because it’s public domain: [https://archive.org/details/safecounselorpra0000jeff](https://archive.org/details/safecounselorpra0000jeff) ) and for fiction, Wetlands by Charlotte Roche, which was an international bestseller.
For fiction:
Get a Life, Chloe Brown is a (spicy) romance book about a woman with fibromyalgia. It’s the reason I got finally sought a diagnosis for my own fibro. Is that close? Or are you looking specifically for something related to reproductive health?
There’s another romance (only a bit spicy iirc) about a woman who gets pregnant from a one night stand and we follow her progress from finding out she’s pregnant through all her bodily changes and such. It’s pretty sweet and has a really nice ending. It’s called Ready or Not by Cara Bastone.
For non-fiction:
Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski. About women’s sexual health.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Not specifically women’s health, but adjacent: a woman’s cancer leads to medical breakthroughs, her family’s experience with the medical and legal system, and systemic racism and poverty.
