I want to talk to a specific group of you today. Not everyone here has PMOS (formerly PCOS) themselves. Some of you are here because your daughter does. Your partner does. Your sister does. I don't say that as an aside... it matters. You showing up here, learning alongside her, matters more than you probably realize. ​ There's a study I read this week that backs this up. Forty women were interviewed about what it was actually like to get a PMOS diagnosis (small study, done in Pakistan... not the whole world, but the pattern is worth sitting with). Their experience sorted into four themes. ​ The confusion before the diagnosis... all that searching for an answer before you finally got one. How it hit emotionally when it became real... the moment the label landed. The health worries that came with it... the cycles, the skin, the weight changes, all of it. And how it shaped life decisions going forward... family planning, relationships, choices that got harder or different. ​ Here's the part I want you to sit with. The women in this study said parental and spousal support was what helped them cope. Not a supplement. Not a protocol. The people around them, showing up. ​ So if that's you... if you're here because someone you love is navigating this... thank you. It matters more than you know. ​ 📎 The study, if you want to read it: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42466370/ ​ Which of those four themes lands for you the most? Whether you're the one with PMOS, or you're here for someone who is.

My dear Level 2's (Not level 2? Binge the Lab Clarity Mini Series and you will be) Here is the Lab Tracker v 1.0 Okay, this one makes me happy. ​ Your PMOS Lab Tracker is ready... and it's your Level 2 bonus in here. ​ You enter your own results as you get them, and it keeps every panel in one place. Hormones, metabolic, iron, thyroid, all of it. As you add more test dates, it quietly builds your trends, so you can finally see your own story over time instead of a pile of PDFs buried in your inbox. ​ A few things I want you to know: ​ • The reference ranges are left blank on purpose. You fill in the ones from your own lab report, because they really do vary by lab and by person. • It doesn't diagnose anything or replace your care team. It's here to help you organize what's yours and walk into your next appointment with better questions. • Your data stays yours. If a new version ever drops, you copy it straight over. It's hard copy on purpose. Your medical data should stay private and secure. ​ How to unlock it: it lives at Level 2. Comment on the Lab Clarity episodes to earn your points, hit Level 2, and it's yours. ​ New here or haven't watched yet?

For years I've said pcos is a misnomer. You don't have cysts on your ovaries despite the name 🤪 The way pcos/pmos ovaries look like in ultrasound is because of the egg follicules! So what does PMOS stand for: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome 👏👏👏👏👏 so much better. So much more accurate "New name to improve diagnosis and care of condition affecting 170 million women worldwide" This day will forever be a special one. Research progress and advocacy at play! Now to update all my things in all the places .... websites etc. How do you feel about this?
