It’s not just a cosmetic issue → PCOS has much more serious implications for your short-term health, mental and physical well-being, and your long-term health.

FINALLY! Right to sterilizing treatment is LAW in NH
Last Wednesday, the governor of NH signed into law HB 606, prime sponsored by Rep Ellen Read (dubbed by Republicans as "the AOC of NH"), which guarantees that a doctor cannot withhold advisable sterilizing treatment from a patient simply because they don't agree with their right to be childfree (or because they are “too young" or will "change their mind" etc).
This makes NH the first government in the WORLD to guarantee the protection to childfree people!
Countless people have shared their frustration with being denied needed hysterectomies or other sterilizing treatments, being needlessly subjected to miserable conditions like prolapsed uteruses, cyclical vomiting, or debilitating pain... And the risk of dying from high risk unintended pregnancies while having conditions like autoimmune disorders, genetic disorders, or cancer.
Now, people who are suffering while getting denied treatment can go to NH (the law has been signed and takes effect Sept 13) and have THE RIGHT to have medically advisable sterilization treatments, regardless of age (if over 18), number of children, marital status, or any fertility goals contrary to your statement.
While the law states that the treatment must be for a qualifying medical condition, the definition of a medical definition is quite broad. Not only anything that affects the reproductive organs, but also anything that would make having children not advisable. This may include family medical history of inheritable diseases, genetic conditions, conditions that make pregnancy dangerous like autoimmune disorders or cancer, or mental health conditions that would make someone not a good parent.
And while gender dysphoria itself neither counts as something that affects the reproductive organs nor would make having children not advisable, the doctor cannot discriminate against people with gender dysphoria in providing the treatment.
So if you've been suffering with denials from doctors who care more about your fertility than your well being, take a trip in the fall to NH, the fall colors are beautiful!

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a big threat to women’s health, but it’s still under-recognized, under-diagnosed and under-treated

Mitbetroffene:
Wie handhabt Ihr das dort, wo ihr nicht weiter kommt oder euch nicht ernst genommen fühlt von denen, die eigentlich dazu da sein sollten?!
(Ich weiß, ist wieder was sehr Privates, aber ich habe es bewusst öffentlich gehalten, um die Vernetzungsmöglichkeit zu erhöhen.)

Infertility affects 1 in 10 couples worldwide, yet many causes are overlooked or misunderstood. During Infertility Awareness Month this June, it’s vital to recognize common issues like PCOS, diminished ovarian reserve, endometriosis, and male factors such as low sperm count. Women over 35 should seek evaluation after 6 months of trying, while others after 12 months.
Early diagnosis and treatments like IVF, which helps over 85,000 women yearly, can significantly improve chances. Spread awareness, bust myths, and encourage open conversations—infertility is a medical condition, not a taboo. Together, we can support hopeful families on their journey.

Just ordered myself an over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor. It's not covered by insurance because I'm not diabetic. I feel lucky I can spend $90 for a month of a cool tool.
I'm optimistic this will help me identify which foods affect my glucose, and that seeing numbers change near real-time will help me in ways that just looking up a food's glycemic index wouldn't. #continuousglucosemonitor #insulinresistance #pcos
