Right, the fertility question again, but with numbers this time. I have 22 data points over 32 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance,…

Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud. The advice on perimenopause in this community changed substantially around the start of last…
