It really does!

Just the shift in cerebrospinal fluid in response to progesterone explains not just the obvious symptoms that come with that part of the cycle, it points to things like increased migraines, memory issues, and that's huge.

Having a correlation shown like this could possibly revolutionize how women get care. Just the correlation. If there's a definitive causation, just the ability to better customize hormone regimens in birth control could improve millions of lives.

Considering the extremes I've seen women in my life go through with no real ability to get predictable results from medical assistance relating to their cycles, this is fantastic news.

Honestly I think if this pans out, it will go well beyond just care related to reproductive issues.

I mean there’s got to be some sort of reason that medications and interventions (and illnesses too) sometimes have such dramatically different effects on male and female bodies, and if there are actual biological changes that occur like clockwork for women, that could go a very long way to explaining why and counteracting that issue.
