Just wanted to leave a note to let you know how deeply I appreciate and feel this. Our bodies. Up and down. Sideways? Changes of intention or invention. Thank you for sharing all of this.

I have PCOS too. My understanding is that when we ovulate it’s a barometer of overall metabolic function. However there is data that shows that stopping ovulation (even for just one year on the pill) lowers the lifetime risk of ovarian cancer greatly. They’re also putting out studies which show that ovarian cancer actually rises from the Fallopian tubes. I want to learn more about this because of possible prophylaxis.

I want to gently suggest you talk to your dentist about teeth grinding. I did a lot of damage leaving that untreated. I had to shell out for orthodontia at 60 to put my teeth back in place. I’ve also cracked teeth and broken fillings from grinding. I’ve just been measured for a night guard. Hopefully that’ll do the job but if not I’ll inquire about Botox into the jaw muscles. One part of taking care of my old lady body is making sure I go into senior years with the best possible mouth!
