bioZhena Business Assumptions for Minimum Value Scenario August 2, 2016  Birth Control (BC) Market… Initial Off-Label BC Market At Launch Assumed At A Mere 0.25%… Trying To Conceive (TTC) Market… In closing, the reader is reminded that the above are the Assumptions for the bioZhena Minimum Value Scenario, which scenario represents the proverbial “low hanging fruit”. This is because our core product’s first application has FDA 510k clearance for aiding conception & generating diagnostic menstrual profiles for physicians. Our goal is to pursue the Full Value Scenario of the bioZhena Business Plan because of the potential of the bioZhena technology…

bioZhena venture Summer 2017 update of July 9, 2015 bioZhena’s pitch on EquityNet: Women’s personal sex management for the Information Age. Generating diagnostic vital-sign profiles for doctors and payers. This first app of proprietary cervical sensor has FDA clearance. Income from it will support further breakthrough applications. The gist of the bioZhena women’s healthcare breakthrough is this: We monitor the brain – sex organs feedback loop. See the illustration below. Grasp the significance: The market offers you anything other than what’s needed – monitoring the feedback loop (because the final result depends on it, and not on a mere single input signal like the LH).

bioZhena & Women’s Fertility Watch(ing) March 3, 2015 Let’s bring women’s personal management of sex life (“can I conceive today?”) into the Information Age. And provide diagnostic vital-sign menstrual profiles to doctors & payers along the way.

Serious health consequences of delaying pregnancy, and the need for prevention of impaired fertility also known as subfertility and infertility. – Simply put: We must talk prevention versus treatment of a condition that is not inevitable. On the present large scale, impaired fertility is anthropogenic – where anthropogenic means “caused or produced by humans”. When trying to conceive, it is highly advisable not to delay baby making beyond the optimal age of early 20s, and in any case to practice “focused intercourse”. In that connection (with said focus), “anthropogenic” acquires a positive connotation – even if my introduction is no longer exactly simply put!

How baby-making late in life evolved into subfertility and infertility, difficult conception, too long TTC. – Way back, in the pre-contraceptive Pill days, the difficulty to become pregnant was not a widespread phenomenon, and mums were younger than many are nowadays. The evolution of subfertility and infertility (as a big-time societal phenomenon) in the U.S. can be summarized based on data from http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005074.html#ixzz2GBMSkUKy  [Information Please® Database, © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc.] as follows.

End of the year, and trying to get pregnant. – The best you can do for your fertility awareness and natural family planning in the absence of the Ovulona™ when you want to conceive a pregnancy. (Not valid for pregnancy avoidance.)

What is the mechanism of stress and how does it affect reproduction. An update. And: Be a young mother!  —  (Ovulona™-related scientific findings published by others about disruption of fertility, about PCOS or Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, how stress suppresses ovulation, about the hypothalamic amenorrhea of stress and postpartum blues/depression, about a CRH placental clock which determines the length of gestation and the timing of parturition and delivery, and the role of CRH in premature labor. How old age affects folliculogenesis as a stressor. Even how acute stress may induce ovulation in women.)

Why too many young and not so young ladies could NOT receive flowers on Mothers’ Day: Why so many trying-to-conceive, why so much infertility.   —  (Say thank you to the social and medical advances of the twentieth century – primarily those of chemical birth control, the Pill.)

The perils of IVF, of ARTs, of giving birth at old age – part 2.  —  (Tidbits from a debate at LinkedIn group The Life Science Executive Exchange, about DANGERS OF IN VITRO FERTILIZATION. And I offer Google Ngram evidence for why I was justified to exclaim, “Damn the bloody Pill”. People debate hotly burdening future generations with debt – but we don’t seem to care about burdening them with health consequences of the daft but so prevalent postponement of motherhood until it’s too late.)

The perils of IVF, of ARTs, of giving birth at old maternal age.  —  (About epigenetic evidence that should make you think twice+ before you contemplate In Vitro Fertilization and think that having a baby can wait. The bottom line? Be a young mother!)

Smoking affects the menstrual cyclic profile as captured by the Ovulona™, monitoring might help with smoking-cessation

The fallacy of ovulation calculators, calendars and circulating-hormone detectors  —  (Don’t let them fool you with likely this and probable that! You need to know for sure. When it comes to the crucial timing of ovulation, it is astonishing to see the fallacies and delusions propagated on the web)

Cervix uteri and seven or eight related things   —  (Reblogging the December 16, 2007 post about the basics including why the bioZhena technology had to be invented)

Difficult to conceive – Google evidence that pregnancy complications and trying-to-conceive concerns shot up after the Pill launch in 1960s (Regardless of what contraceptive proponents tell you)

Much in women’s health revolves around folliculogenesis – from teen age to peri-menopause  —  (In this article I sketch for you the usefulness of the Ovulona™ Smart Sensor™ throughout a woman’s life, with particular attention paid to the extremes of the reproductive lifespan = teenage and peri-menopause)

Seven billion people – after half a century with the Pill

Why screen for cervical cancer (and for the other STIs, sexually transmitted infections)? – Why all women need to screen for cervical tissue health, whether or not they accept that Nature is powerful (only  virgins don’t need to)

Instant detection of pregnancy and of Early Pregnancy Loss, EPL – the adversary of Trying To Conceive, TTC – especially after age 25

Trying to conceive, #ttc, or the frustration of sub-fertility & infertility. (Existing approaches to TTC, Trying To Conceive, are not satisfactory – and cannot be, without FOLLICULOGENESIS IN VIVO™)

A few more peri-vernal equinox tweets on #conceiving, #fertility, achieving #pregnancy & #baby gender contrary to Shettles (While NFP users know that fertility awareness is a must for birth control)

Further peri-vernal equinox tweets on #conceiving, kairos time and #fertility, achieving #pregnancy, caution about in vitro & appearances (And NFP users still know that fertility awareness is for birth control, too)

Peri-vernal equinox tweets on #conceiving, #fertility status, achieving #pregnancy in the era of #infertility – “a modern epidemic” (NFP aficionados know that fertility awareness is for birth control, too)

Major studies decades ago revealed variability of menstrual cycles (But people are still naïve about the basic cause of the difficulty to achieve pregnancy)

Variability of menstrual cycles and of ovulation timing (See how this complicates things whether you want pregnancy or want to avoid it. And yes, stress has something to do with it)
