The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

So if I sit across from somebody and I just say, "Are your cycles regular?" And they say yes and we carry on. I've missed the fact that they actually have a shortened ludial phase and that warrants further investigation.
The first stage of an ovulation disorder is a ludalphase defect meaning a shortening of your ludal phase. So, you're ovulating, but the brain and ovary have a miscommunication and we don't make progesterone long enough to sustain the ludal phase. Less than 11 days is a short ludial phase, but you'll still have regular cycles.
