Ask the average person how the menstrual cycle affects women’s moods, and you’re likely to get an earful about PMS, or premenstrual syndrome. While it’s true that PMS symptoms are common (although not as stereotypical as usually believed), new research is finding women’s behavior shifts at another point in the reproductive cycle: ovulation.

Women are at their smartest self when they are ovulating, according to a study.
The study, led by Belinda Pletzer at the University of Salzburg, Austria, claimed that the size of a woman’s brain changes throughout her menstrual cycle, with some areas growing by as much as 2 per cent in the run-up to ovulation— when women are at their most fertile.

Merck & Co., Inc., which operates outside the U.S. and Canada as MSD, today announced the European Commission (EC) approval of ELONVA® (corifollitropin alfa injection). ELONVA is indicated for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in combination with a GnRH antagonist for the development of multiple follicles in women participating in an assisted reproductive technology (ART) program. With the EC approval, Merck receives marketing authorization for ELONVA with unified labeling valid in all European Union Member States. Schering-Plough Corp. and Merck & Co., Inc. merged on Nov. 3, 2009.
Comment from Leslie – And now Merck is coming out with an injection to stimulate ovulation? I would never take an injection from Merck or anyone else to stimulate ovulation especially if it was their initial injection (vaccine) that caused it to stop.

Comment from Leslie
All of the Gardasil girls are struggling with menstrual issues due to endocrine system imbalance from heavy metals and other toxins in the vaccine that have damaged the brain.
Is Merck aware of this?
Are they now in the fertility business and producing ovulation stimulating drugs for infertility? Does anyone see the sad, sad, irony here? Is MErck creating another market out of thin air?
BTW take a look at the side effects from these treatments…

UPPER GWYNEDD — Merck & Co. Inc.’s acquisition of Schering-Plough will enhance its women’s health and respiratory drug categories.

Eventual approval of a contraception and ovary stimulation drug — both targeted for European use — will complement Gardasil, a cervical cancer vaccine created by the company, according to Wickersham.
Comment from Leslie
Merck is coming out with this ovary stimulation drug – because so many Gardasil girls are having problems with their menstrual cycle to the HPV vaccine. This smells like a rotten fish. Complicity. Merck is well aware that their vaccine would cause endocrine problems in women. The studies between heavy metals as an endocrine disrupters are there. Women should be outraged.
Talking with your Doctor
Charting the signs of your menstrual cycle is a good way to keep in touch with your body, your feelings, and your health. It is also a good way to predict your days of menstruation in advance, even if your menstrual cycles are irregular, and to know the most fertile times if you are hoping to conceive.

The brains of men and women handle stress differently and that alters the way their bodies experience chronic diseases such as depression, cardiovascular disease and autoimmune disorders, U.S. researchers report.
The scientists used functional MRI to monitor the brain activity of healthy men and women viewing stress-triggering images. The women underwent brain scans twice, once at the start of their menstrual cycle and once during ovulation.

I’m not much of an expert in feminist economics—I count on my fingers—but I can appreciate a visually interesting, sufficiently dumbed-down lady-graph when it comes my way. This week, my foray into quantitative analysis of feminist issues left me kinda down. Behold, graphical representations of Bad News in abortion and stripping: (Follow link to see Graph)
