About us
We started Modern Fertility because we heard a lot of buzz (and panic) about fertility—but we had no idea how it applied to us. As women not yet ready for kids, were we supposed to be worried?
Planners by nature—we don’t like not knowing what we don’t know. So we dug in.
We found that you can go to a fertility clinic and take simple blood tests to check in on where you stand. But not everyone can afford them and the results can be tricky to decipher. We use information to get smart about everything in our lives—relationships, money, school. Why is something as formative as fertility still a black box?
So we went to work building Modern Fertility. An easy way for every woman to get the info she needs to make decisions about her fertility.
There’s a ton you can do in regard to fertility these days—but we think that information is the best first step.

Be aware that no two vulvas look the same. That said, listed below are the anatomical parts of your vulva and vagina that you can familiarize yourself with to help you identify what exactly your normal is.
