About Meno

I built Meno because I needed it.

I walked into a doctor's appointment prepared. I had done the research, written the email, gotten a yes. My doctor would discuss hormone therapy. She had never prescribed an estrogen patch. She offered birth control instead. When I asked about vaginal estrogen, she suggested lube. I left without the care I came for, found a NAMS-certified menopause specialist myself, and scheduled directly. Within a month of seeing someone who actually knew menopause, my sleep was better, my hot flashes were easing, and my bladder was improving.

One appointment with the right provider changed everything. Most women don't know they can do that, or don't have the energy to try.

I'm a software engineer. Before that appointment I spent hours researching the evidence, logging my symptoms, and preparing a document: prioritized concerns, scripted opening statement, questions grouped by topic. I walked in knowing exactly what to ask for and why. It worked. But I had time, research skills, and the stubbornness to navigate around a system that wasn't working for me. Most women don't have that combination.

Meno is what I wished had existed. A place to track your symptoms, find a provider who actually knows this transition, and walk into every appointment prepared. The full story of why I built it, and how, is on the Meno case study(opens in new tab).
