ISSUE ONE:
FIRST THINGS FIRST
We are so excited to introduce you to the 11 Seconds Magazine's DEBUT Issue, First Things First. In this issue, we dive deep into PCOS, periods, visits to the gynecologist, childbirth, love, sex, and even what it’s like to question the healthcare system head on. What does it mean to all of us that our firsts are remembered, recorded, and perhaps even revered?
You can now read it as a digital flipbook or as a series of articles below!

I guess it didn’t matter, because I was 13 and all I remember was the feeling of a door closing.
