One of the things that gets me about so many of the issues such as PCOS, endometriosis, etc, that can cause infertility is that each of them is a diagnosis with potentially life-changing effects other than the infertility. While the infertility has been the main grief of PCOS for me, I also know that my risk of diabetes goes up - a potentially serious issue - and the acne bothers me (while certainly not as serious as diabetes risk or as upsetting as infertility, it's still a definite part of the PCOS). IVF allowed me to have a daughter and treat that aspect of the disease, but I'm amazed at how much other aspects of PCOS affect my daily life. Yes, research that will allow doctors to treat the whole disorder is very much overdue.

I feel like women's health gets kicked to the background so much more than men's. What a brilliant idea, collecting information from blood that's collected anyway, and how amazing it would be to get that information sooner!

Imagine empowering women to take care of themselves better, to open up conversations that don't create shame.
