One week isn’t nearly enough to honour the hard work and dedication put in my the nursing team at Niagara Fertility.

These ladies work so hard to keep patients cared for throughout their fertility journey. And they do it with a smile 😊

Thank you to Marissa, Meghan, Kristian, Chantal and Reagan for your dedication.

I know many days are not easy. But the good days are really darn good. And you make showing up to work a lot of fun 🤩

We’ve been using a name that doesn’t really fit for decades.

If you’ve ever been told you have Polycystic O***y Syndrome but didn’t actually have “cysts” on your ultrasound, you already know the old name was a bit of a misfit.

PCOS has officially been renamed PMOS, which stands for Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.

A bit of a mouthful, I know. But it does a much better job of describing what’s actually going on:

Polyendocrine: affecting multiple endocrine (hormone) glands
Metabolic: acknowledges the role of insulin, glucose, and long-term metabolic health
Ovarian: ovulation and ovaries are still part of the picture
Syndrome: a group of signs and symptoms that occur together

The old name made it sound like you had to have ovarian cysts, or that this was mainly an o***y or fertility issue. But many people with PCOS/PMOS don’t have classic polycystic ovaries.

What hasn’t changed: The diagnostic criteria and the way we treat it remain the same for now. This isn’t a new disease; it’s just a more honest way of describing the one we already know.

What I hope it changes is how we talk about it.

PMOS deserves to be understood as more than a fertility diagnosis, and more than something to think about only when pregnancy is the goal.

For now you may see both names (PMOS and PCOS) used interchangeably as the medical world catches up.

How does this new name land for you? Does it feel more accurate, or just like another label? Let’s talk about it in the comments.

If Google were your fertility doctor, your appointment would end with 47 open tabs, a cart full of supplements, and a full spiral before bed. 🫠

You type in one simple thing like: “my cycles are irregular.”

Next thing you know, you’re deep in a forum at midnight reading about PCOS, low progesterone, endometriosis, egg quality, inflammation, and five different supplements someone swears “fixed everything for them.”

But an irregular cycle is a symptom that can stem from so many different things. It could be thyroid function, stress, hormone imbalance, insulin shifts, coming off the pill, PCOS, or something else entirely.

Same symptom, but different physiology and treatment.
So that one-size-fits-all supplement list from a stranger on Reddit? Probably not the move.

When I’m working with someone 1:1, I’m not going off trending TikToks or whatever the algorithm decided to show you. I’m looking at your labs, your cycle history, your symptoms, and the context around all of it, so we can get a better sense of what is actually going on for you.

If you’re tired of leaving a Google search with ten tabs open and more questions than answers, this is for you. My 1:1 fertility consults are open.

Your period is your monthly report card, and most of us were never taught how to read it.

Heavy bleeding, spotting, cycle length, cervical mucus, ovulation signs, PMS, cramps, etc. can all offer useful information about what may be happening hormonally.

I’m not here to make you panic about every symptom. I’m here to help you notice patterns or changes to decode what your cycle is actually trying to tell you.

Save this post and share it with a friend who’s been told “your cycle is normal” when something still feels off.

What’s one cycle symptom you’ve always wondered about?👇

The stuff of nightmares. 🫣

I hear versions of these that patients have been told all the time.

In the fertility world, these phrases can keep people stuck for way longer than they should. They often sound reassuring in the moment, but can leave you feeling dismissed or like you’re overthinking something that doesn’t feel right.

The reality:

→Waiting a year isn’t always necessary, especially if you have symptoms or just want answers now.

→Secondary infertility is real and deserves a full workup, not a “you’ve done it before” shrug.

→Regular cycles don’t always mean ovulation is happening in a way that supports pregnancy.

→And for the love of everything... test the male partner early. It is one of the easiest things to assess, but is often left as a last resort.

If you’ve heard one of these, it might be time to ask more questions or get another set of eyes on things.

Which of these “horror movies” have you been forced to watch? Drop a 🚩 in the comments if you’ve heard one of these, or tell me the worst “advice” you’ve ever received.

Let’s end this week with something that actually matters.
Not just awareness, but validation.

Because so many people navigating fertility are:
🤍 Waiting longer than they should
🤍 Questioning themselves
🤍 Wondering if they’re asking for “too much”

You’re not.

Fertility Unlocked means:
Earlier answers
Better access
Care that actually listens

If this week did anything, I hope it reminded you of this:
✨ You deserve support
✨ You deserve clarity
✨ You deserve to be taken seriously

Being in fertility care isn’t just about knowing what to do, it’s also about supporting people through one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives.

And I carry those stories with me.

It’s also why I care so much about the in-between moments - the walks, the workouts, the small routines that help you feel like yourself again.

Because fertility support should feel human.
Not rushed. Not dismissive. Not out of reach.

Fertility Unlocked - to me - means care that actually sees you. ♥️

It’s Canadian Fertility Awareness Week. The theme this year is Fertility Unlocked.

What does that mean?

It means fertility care shouldn’t feel out of reach.

This week is about opening doors to answers, support, and real options.

Stay tuned while I share helpful posts this week to help you feel supported, heard and informed.
