Wow! I did not know this. Research from Yale found Wow! I did not know this. Research from Yale found that pregnancy adds 2 years to your biological age but just 3 months postpartum, that can be reversed by up to 8 years!!! The findings suggest that the intense metabolic and physiological demands of pregnancy act as a temporary stressor on the body, which then recovers, and in some cases, surpasses its previous, younger state. #pregnancy #postpartum #research #study #fyp

My close friend @drjulietmcgrattan writes about th My close friend @drjulietmcgrattan writes about this in her new book!! …Only 3 per cent of those with polycystic ovary syndrome reach perimenopause by the age of 46, which may allow them to conceive when older. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is notorious for disrupting hormones and fertility, but it may have some surprising benefits after the age of 40. Ageing seems to naturally reshape the affected ovaries, often making periods more regular, delaying perimenopause and increasing fertility. “Over the years, we’ve had so many women with PCOS telling us how they thought they would never be able to get pregnant without ART [assisted reproductive technology] and then they were so surprised because it happened in their 40s,” says Terhi Piltonen at Oulu University Hospital in Finland. “We call these children who they never thought they would have ‘evening stars’.” Piltonen and her colleagues studied how PCOS influences the menopausal transition using data from 1849 women who were born in Finland in 1966 and had had regular health checks ever since as part of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort study.
