We follow the footnotes on a common gyn rule, then use that same evidence-first lens to question popular fertility add-ons and persistent pregnancy myths. Along the way, we talk pretest probability, counseling tradeoffs, and why simple cutoffs often replace better clinical reasoning. 


• tracing the “biopsy Bartholin cysts after 40” claim back to weak citations 
• using pretest probability and exam features to decide on selective biopsy 
• weighing hysteropexy versus hysterectomy for prolapse with long-term cancer risk in mind 
• breaking down a Lancet review of IVF add-ons and what actually shows benefit 
• spotting how marketing and online forums amplify unproven fertility interventions 
• reviewing data on sedentary time in pregnancy and why activity restriction persists 
• debunking “walking progresses labor” with randomized trial evidence 
• clarifying early diabetes testing as screening for preexisting diabetes and when A1C makes more sense than early glucose tolerance tests
