Menopause and the Clear Blue Hormone Test

This is a joke right #Clearblue?

All this test is a Follicle Stimulating Hormone Test — FSH for short.

First, why would I pay for this test when my doctor will do it for free? Second, all you are showing is a “moment in time”. Same as the test my doctor can give me. It means nothing and is a waste of women’s money. How dare you. Here is a CNN article but I saw the TV commercial first and was astounded…all ready to write an article on it, but CNN did it for me. I will bold sections that I think are relevant as well as my comments.

CNN — “Gen X is dealing with menopause, and women of this generation are looking for new and better solutions to manage the disruptions menopause can cause, and safely and effectively ease the transition past their menstruating years. Ostensibly noting this demand, in August, Clearblue released a menopause test kit. Noting that menopause is often “shrouded in mystery,” the company’s head of scientific and medical affairs, Lucy Broadbent, has stated that the objective of the test is to alleviate some of the confusion. While other at-home tests are already on the market, Clearblue says that, unlike many alternatives, its test can be used any time during a women’s cycle. What confusion are they alleviating? You are either in menopause or not and a hot flash will determine that for you.
