What Worked
PCOS affects 1 in 5 Indian women but diagnosis takes 3+ years on average. Built PCOS-specific symptom tracking + endocrinologist connect. 20,000 users from a single Reddit India Women thread — zero advertising.
Biggest Mistake
Tried to serve all women's health. PCOS + thyroid + fertility is 60% of women's health concerns — solved these three deeply before adding menopause and perimenopause tracks.
