Were you always certain in like the population you wanted to serve or has that evolved over the years with your own health? I'm just interested.
2:30
I love that.
2:30
Thank you.
2:31
Well, first of all, something you said is there's this gap in health care for women.
2:35
But I also think that there's just a gap at every stage of a woman's life.
2:38
And it's not anything that was designed to not serve a woman.

Health risk, et cetera, that you feel like you're having a conversation around, whether it's in your office or just with like your besties.

Oh, no cycles.
7:23
So typically you may not have cycles or you may just have very irregular cycles, and that's kind of the hallmark for it.

But what I want to say about all of this is it is a clinical diagnosis, meaning we don't need any fancy, you know, diagnostic tools to-- And I think that's important about this new nomenclature that we're moving into.
7:40
You don't have to have any diagnostic criteria outside of clinical things.
7:45
And so we have all these meeting of the minds to di- to decide what is the true diagnostic criteria for PCOS.
7:52
So you have two problems going on.
7:54
One, everybody's focusing on the ovaries, and number two, everybody can't agree... no one can agree on how to diagnose it or what gets a woman a diagnostic diagnosis.
9:28
Okay.
