About this Talk

Hormones don’t sit still, so why test them as if they do? Reproductive hormones move as a continuous wave across the menstrual cycle, yet testing still often relies on a single calendar day. Using real world data from an observational study, kindly supported by BASEM, this talk asks a simple question: what does it take to see the whole wave?
