In April 2016, for instance, I was very excited to read about the<a href=\"https:\/\/aleteia.org\/blogs\/simchafisher\/this-at-home-ovulation-test-could-be-an-nfp-game-changer\/\"> new at-home progesterone tests<\/a> being developed by MFB Fertility, Inc., a company focused on creating new in-home diagnostic tests for fertility monitoring in women.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, I was in the midst of a very frustrating series of cycles, in which my fertility monitor\u2014used in conjunction with the<a href=\"https:\/\/nfp.marquette.edu\/\"> Marquette Method<\/a>\u2014missed peak three cycles in a row. An in-home test that could be used to confirm ovulation via measuring post-peak progesterone levels even if my monitor missed peak seemed like a dream come true. I eagerly contributed to the crowdfunding effort and was excited to try out the finished product. Years later, I\u2019ve had the pleasure of testing those strips. After a couple months of use, I&#8217;ve been pleased with the results. I\u2019ve found them to be an effective way to cross-check my fertility monitor&#8217;s readings (and I&#8217;ve been taking temps via the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kindara.com\/wink\"> Wink thermometer<\/a> as well, just to have an additional check in place).<\/p>\n<p>Ever since this happened, I\u2019ve been intrigued at the prospect of how much more accessible we can make fertility testing for women. So I was excited to hear that recently MFB has had another development in progress\u2014a smartphone app that would allow women to track progesterone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG, a hormone produced by the placenta after implantation), and other hormones via an at-home blood test.<\/p>\n<p>It is an understatement to say this technology would be revolutionary for women using NFP to avoid pregnancy as well as women struggling with infertility issues. Currently, tests like these can be hard for women to access at local labs, and many have to shell out hundreds of dollars or get on payment plans to afford having locally drawn blood samples mailed to outside labs that can read the results. Even figuring out the timing to get to the nearest lab for blood tests is a hassle since the blood samples need to be taken every 48 hours, or only on a certain day of one&#8217;s cycle (a day that is often difficult to predict more than a few days in advance).<\/p>\n<p>The CEO of MFB Fertility, Amy Beckley introduced the product saying, \u201cWe are developing a mobile phone app-based system that would allow women to quantitatively track reproductive hormones at home. This product would lead to better detection of hormonal imbalances and decreased cost of infertility care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sounds great, right? Women struggling with infertility or who are simply trying to monitor their reproductive health do not need more headaches and expenses than necessary. Which is why my jaw dropped when I learned that the technology was denied government grant funding due to the accusation of being \u201charmful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beckley provided a quote from the denial letter she received from the FDA: \u201cMy major concern is that this device should not be used without physician guidance. The idea of marketing this device to women for home use is potentially harmful. There is high risk for misuse and misdiagnosis, causing unnecessary anxiety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wow. The risk isn\u2019t to her physical health, the FDA is in effect saying, it\u2019s the risk of stirring up her emotions. As a woman who has monitored her fertility with FABMs and at-home testing for years, I find the FDA\u2019s wording to be patronizing and shamefully unscientific.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s as if the FDA is saying women are too <i>emotional<\/i> to monitor their own health via in-home devices. We can&#8217;t be trusted to bother our pretty little heads about our hormone levels; we shouldn&#8217;t make the effort to educate ourselves lest we get the vapors. The medical community should be far beyond the days of treating women\u2019s health like an area in which women are too delicate to manage our health like any other person.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth recalling how similar pushback occurred when home pregnancy tests were being created for home use\u2014some doctors predicted that the availability of home pregnancy tests would cause an epidemic of<a href=\"https:\/\/reason.com\/blog\/2018\/04\/10\/before-busy-bodies-opposed-home-genome-t\"> suicides and psychotic breaks<\/a>, or that they would simply be too difficult for women to figure out how to use. Of course, we now know this was not true.<\/p>\n<p>It is common practice for people with diabetes to<a href=\"http:\/\/www.diabetes.org\/living-with-diabetes\/treatment-and-care\/blood-glucose-control\/checking-your-blood-glucose.html\"> test their blood sugar at home<\/a>, and for people with hypertension to<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heart.org\/HEARTORG\/Conditions\/HighBloodPressure\/KnowYourNumbers\/Monitoring-Your-Blood-Pressure-at-Home_UCM_301874_Article.jsp\"> test their blood pressure at home<\/a>. You can even take a test to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.23andme.com\/\"> analyze your DNA<\/a> at home! (Although you do need to send that particular test out for analysis. Still, you take the actual test at home and then mail it off for results, which is more convenient than having to find time to go to a lab.)<\/p>\n<p>The FDA does not consider it &#8220;harmful&#8221; for those people to monitor their medical conditions at home, but somehow it would be &#8220;harmful&#8221; for women to test their own fertility levels. Instead, we need to just trust our doctors\u2014even if our doctors are woefully illiterate on fertility awareness and won&#8217;t take us seriously, and will just keep pushing big-Pharma-backed contraceptives or IVF on us as a way to &#8220;fix&#8221; our fertility problems. Women like me who use Fertility Awareness Based Methods are significantly under-served by the medical community in America today, and it looks like it\u2019s getting worse.<\/p>\n<p>The real harm for women is not having more knowledge about their reproductive health\u2014it\u2019s when we deny it to them. Which is why Beckley has noted, even in the rare cases when infertility treatment and care is covered by health insurance plans \u201cwomen must wait 1 year after they\u00a0 [are actively] trying to conceive or after multiple miscarriages to seek medical treatment.\u201d If we actually are thinking about women\u2019s welfare, according to Beckley, \u201cit is harmful NOT to create these types of home hormone monitoring devices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It has yet to be determined whether Beckley and her team can find alternate funding sources to develop the app and associated blood tests.<\/p>\n<p>I speak for myself and countless American women struggling with fertility issues and tracking when I say that this technology would be a game-changer in giving women easier access to much-needed health information. And women today need greater support in fertility awareness not less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Como usuaria desde hace mucho tiempo de la Planificaci\u00f3n Familiar Natural
