The menstrual cycle — explained simply
Your cycle has four phases, each guided by shifting hormones:
Menstrual phase Bleeding begins. Hormone levels are low. Energy can dip, and rest often feels easier.
Follicular phase Oestrogen rises. The uterine lining rebuilds. Many people feel clearer, lighter, and more energised.
Ovulation A mature egg is released. Oestrogen peaks. Cervical mucus becomes stretchy, and libido may rise.
Luteal phase Progesterone takes over. Some feel calm and steady; others get PMS or PMDD symptoms as hormones fluctuate.
Your cycle isn’t just about bleeding — it’s a monthly rhythm that affects mood, energy, sleep, and comfort. Understanding it can make your symptoms make sense.

Five questions you’re absolutely allowed to ask your gynae — without shame, without apology.
• Is this pain normal for me? • Can we slow down or pause the exam? • Are there other options besides medication or surgery? • What does this diagnosis actually mean? • Can you explain that again in simpler words?
Good care welcomes questions. Your body, your pace, your clarity.

Common challenges in menopause
Menopause isn’t just about hot flushes. Shifting hormones can affect many parts of life:
• night sweats and sleep disruption • mood swings or irritability • brain fog and memory lapses • vaginal dryness or pain with sex • joint aches • changes in weight or metabolism • reduced libido • irregular or heavy periods in perimenopause
None of this means you’re “just getting older.” There are effective treatments — hormonal and non-hormonal — to help you feel like yourself again.
You deserve support, not silence.

Three things I hope every patient feels when they walk out
• heard — without needing perfect words • respected — in every decision, exam, and explanation • clearer — about what’s happening and what comes next
Good care isn’t just clinical. It’s how someone feels when they leave the room.

How long periods should last?
Most periods last 3–7 days — but there’s a wide range of normal.
Shorter? Longer? What matters most is whether the pattern is your normal.
When to get checked: • bleeding longer than 7–8 days • soaking through pads/tampons every 1–2 hours • large clots • cycles getting much shorter or longer • dizziness or fatigue from blood loss
Your period is a window into your health. If something feels off, it’s worth a review.

🌼 Slinda: A New “Mini Pill” Option 🌼
Not all contraceptive pills are the same. Many contain estrogen, which isn’t suitable for everyone. That’s where Slindacomes in.
💊 What is Slinda? Slinda is a progestogen-only pill (POP) containing drospirenone. Unlike older mini-pills, it has a 24 active + 4 placebo day cycle, making it easier to use with fewer timing restrictions.
✨ Why it matters:
* A good choice for women who can’t take estrogen (e.g. migraines with aura, clotting risks, breastfeeding).
* Can also help with lighter, more predictable periods compared to older mini-pills.
* Recently added to the PBS, which means it’s now more affordable and accessible.
Slinda isn’t right for everyone, but it’s a great new option for contraception. If you’re considering your choices, talk to your gynaecologist about whether Slinda might suit you.

Cysts in Pregnancy -
Corpus luteum cysts support early pregnancy and often resolve by the 2nd trimester. Most simple cysts can be watched with periodic scans; we step in only if features or symptoms suggest otherwise. Care is coordinated with your obstetric team to keep you and baby safe.

🌸 Endometriosis & Fertility: Let’s Bust a Myth 🌸
One of the most common fears women share after being diagnosed with endometriosis is: ❌ “This means I’ll never be able to have children.”
The truth? Endometriosis does not always mean infertility.
✨ Many women with endometriosis go on to conceive naturally. ✨ Others may need support along the way, and early diagnosis and treatment can make a big difference. ✨ Good care can help manage pain, protect fertility, and give you more options for the future.
Every journey is different — and endometriosis doesn’t take away the possibility of building a family. 💕
If you’ve been diagnosed with endometriosis and are worried about fertility, speak with your gynaecologist. Together, you can make a plan that supports both your health and your goals.

🌼 Ryeqo & Endometriosis: A New Milestone in Access 🌼
Chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, and the emotional burden of endometriosis affect so many lives. Having more evidence-based, affordable options is a step forward.
Many women try different treatments over the years — surgery, hormone therapies, pain relief — and sometimes still struggle with symptoms.
💊 Ryeqo is a once-daily tablet that can help reduce endometriosis pain. It works by gently lowering certain hormones while adding back small amounts to protect bone and heart health.
✨ The exciting news? Ryeqo is now listed on the PBS for endometriosis, which means it’s much more affordable for Australian women who need it.
✅ One tablet, once a day ✅ Helps with pain and bleeding ✅ More accessible thanks to PBS support
Ryeqo isn’t right for everyone, but for many it may be a helpful new option alongside other treatments.
If endometriosis is affecting your life, speak with your gynaecologist about whether Ryeqo might be suitable for you.

Post-menopause, ovaries are quieter — but small, simple cysts can still appear. With reassuring ultrasound features and low tumour markers, many can be monitored. Decisions weigh up size, look, growth, symptoms, and your preferences. Shared decisions = safer, calmer care.
