About

Dr Mathilde G.

Doctor writing about women’s health, contraception and the menstrual cycle — in plain language, without judgement.

Why this site exists

Most of what people are told about contraception, cycles and fertility is either too vague to act on or too frightening to trust. I write the version I wish my patients had read before their appointment: what the evidence says, what it doesn’t say yet, and what that means for a real decision.

How I write

Every article is based on published research and current clinical guidance, and says so. When the evidence is uncertain, that uncertainty stays in the text rather than getting smoothed away. Nothing here replaces a conversation with your own doctor or midwife.

The quickest way to reach me is Instagram, where I answer the questions that come up most often.
