Crisis Text Line
CRISIS TEXT LINE SERVES ANYONE IN ANY CRISIS, PROVIDING ACCESS TO FREE, 24/7 SUPPORT AND INFORMATION VIA A MEDIUM PEOPLE ALREADY USE AND TRUST: TEXT.
1) Text PCOS to 741741 from anywhere in the United States or UK, 24/7. We will text about whatever is a crisis to you - addiction, anxiety, assault, bullying, depression, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicide.
2) The Crisis Counselor listens without judgment, invites you to share more and helps you move from a hot moment to a cool calm. You’ll text back and forth, sharing only what you feel comfortable.
3) After 2 automated responses, you'll connect with a live, trained volunteer Crisis Counselor who receives the text on their computer.
4) The goal of the conversation is help you find calm. That may mean sharing resources for you to check out for more help; sometimes it means listening.
5) It usually takes less than 5 minutes to connect you with a Crisis Counselor, maybe longer during busy times.
6) Conversations usually end when you and the Crisis Counselor feel comfortable that you’re in a “cool,” safe place, after 15 - 45 minutes.

Milan Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a popular alternative to waxing and shaving. This is mainly due to the fact that laser hair removal provides permanent results† and is less expensive than maintaining a waxing and shaving routine for a lifetime. Additionally, there’s no recovery time needed after a treatment—so no more doing the waxing-waddle or battling razor burn.
Our treatments are safe, and Authorized Candela Practitioners perform all procedures. We use FDA-cleared lasers that are tailored to your specific skin type & hair color.

Home Test Box
This lab-based screening measures eight hormones associated with PCOS: Cortisol, DHEA, Estradiol, HbA1c, hs-CRP, Progesterone, Testosterone, and TSH. Together, they can give you a better understanding of your hormonal balance and a possible explanation for symptoms you may have been experiencing.
Please keep in mind that this is not a diagnostic test, and PCOS is not the only cause of hormonal imbalances. Additionally, this test does not rule out PCOS, as symptoms among women with PCOS vary widely, and not all women with PCOS will have the same hormonal imbalances.
