Editorial Policy
Last updated: February 2026
This page explains how Her in Cycles researches, writes, and publishes its content. Transparency about our editorial process is a core part of our commitment to quality and trust.
Our Mission
Her in Cycles exists to provide women aged 35 and older with calm, research-informed perspectives on fertility, pregnancy after 35, and sleep and hormonal changes in midlife.
We believe women in this stage of life deserve health information that is scientifically grounded (referenced to credible institutional research), emotionally intelligent (sensitive to the complexity and weight of these topics), honest about uncertainty (using conditional language that reflects what research actually shows), and free from alarmism (informative without being sensational or fear-inducing).
Who Writes Our Content
All articles on Her in Cycles are written by Emily Carter, a women’s health writer specializing in fertility, pregnancy after 35, and hormonal transitions in midlife.
Emily’s approach focuses on translating medical research into accessible, compassionate guidance. She does not offer clinical advice or prescriptive recommendations. Her work prioritizes clarity, nuance, and scientific responsibility.
How We Research Our Articles
Every article on Her in Cycles follows a structured research process:
1. Topic Selection
Topics are selected based on relevance to women navigating fertility, pregnancy, and hormonal changes after 35 — with a focus on questions that are frequently asked and underserved by alarmist or oversimplified content elsewhere.
2. Source Review
Articles are grounded in peer-reviewed research and information from authoritative institutions. Our primary sources include the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), NIH (National Institutes of Health) and PubMed, ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists), Mayo Clinic, March of Dimes, and the American Sleep Association.
3. Conditional Language Policy
We do not use prescriptive language. Phrases such as “you should,” “this will work,” or “guaranteed to” are never used. Instead, we reflect the actual state of research using language such as “evidence suggests,” “some studies indicate,” or “may be associated with.”
4. Medical Disclaimer
Every article includes a medical disclaimer reminding readers that the content is informational only and does not constitute medical advice. We also link to our dedicated Medical Disclaimer page.
5. Internal Review
Each article is reviewed before publication to verify accuracy of claims, quality of sources, appropriate use of conditional language, structural completeness (FAQ, summary, disclaimer), and proper internal and external linking.
What We Do Not Do
In the interest of transparency, Her in Cycles does not:
- Offer personalized medical advice or respond to individual health questions
- Accept sponsored content that conflicts with our editorial standards
- Make guarantees or absolute claims about health outcomes
- Publish content that has not been reviewed against our editorial checklist
- Use sensationalist framing to drive traffic at the expense of accuracy
Corrections Policy
If we publish content that contains a factual error, we are committed to correcting it promptly. Corrections are noted within the article with a brief explanation of what was changed and when.
