Looking towards fertility and menopause and feeling a bit overwhelmed? Just like our menstrual cycles, we weren't taught much about fertility and menopause at school. And so they can feel ominous and overwhelming. On top of that, society gives us a timeline that we should abide by. By informing ourselves, we can break these taboos and feel empowered. 🩸 Knowledge is Power 🩸 Quote from our most recent podcast episode about egg-freezing 👇

This is exactly why we work so hard at Understand Your Cycle ❤ We get beautiful messages like these regularly, and every time it's a reminder of WHY we do what we do. Because every woman deserves a comfortable period, an endo diagnosis, a PCOS diagnosis, fertility support, menopause support, and so much more. Most importantly, every woman and person with period deserves access to knowledge about their body and their menstrual cycle. And that's precisely how we'll get to more diagnoses, more fertility, menopause, and cycle-related condition support, and more women working with their menstrual cycles. 🩸our newsletter drops today at 11am!
