PCOS is now PMOS

Built for PMOS, the condition you know as PCOS. Built for you.

Lila is a companion app for living with PMOS: polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, the condition most of us still know as PCOS. Track your symptoms in about a minute a day, and walk into your next appointment with a record instead of a guess.

What we do

Four things that change how PCOS symptoms get treated.

Not another cycle tracker with a pink calendar. Lila is a PCOS symptom tracker built for the parts of this condition that get missed, and for the appointment where you finally need proof.

01 · The appointment

A symptom tracker that stops you losing the argument to your own memory.

You get ten minutes. You've had six months of PCOS symptoms. Under pressure you name two, they sound minor out of context, and you leave with nothing.

Lila turns every check-in into a one-page symptom tracker summary: how often, how bad, what changed, and the questions to ask. You hand it over instead of recalling it.

02 · Food

PCOS diet recipes chosen for your symptoms and your kitchen.

Not a PCOS diet plan you'll abandon in a week. You tell Lila how you eat, omnivore, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, and which kitchen you actually cook in, from South Asian to Mediterranean to West African. It suggests real dishes with full recipes.

  • Every dish has a goal, steady afternoon energy, protein to ease cravings, a calmer morning
  • Full ingredients and method, plus why each ingredient may help with your symptoms
  • No calories, no weight targets, no foods banned. Ever.
03 · Patterns

Your PCOS patterns, not a population average.

PCOS symptoms are wildly individual. What flattens your energy may do nothing to someone else with the same diagnosis.

Lila watches what tends to travel together in your logs, from sleep to insulin resistance flags, and says so plainly, as a possible trend. It never predicts, never diagnoses, and never assumes a 28-day cycle you don't have.

04 · Experiments

Find out what actually helps your PCOS symptoms.

Change one thing in your PCOS routine, run it across a full cycle, and see whether it held. Not a seven-day challenge that a single rough week can ruin.

Keep what works and it moves into your plan with reminders attached. Release what doesn't, that's still a result, and nothing here scolds you for it.

Mission

To make an under-served PCOS diagnosis impossible to overlook.

PCOS symptoms affect around one in eight women, more than 170 million people, and for decades the condition carried a name pointing at cysts most of them don't have, which is why PCOS has a new name. That framing cost people time, diagnoses, and care. We think the fix starts with taking each person's own record seriously.

Name it accurately

We use PMOS because words decide which risks get screened for and who gets taken seriously.

Evidence, not advice

Lila records and reflects. It doesn't diagnose, predict, or tell anyone what to take.

Built with, not at

Shaped around lived experience, no shame, no streaks, no weight targets.

The founder

I built the PCOS app I needed.

"I walked out of an appointment realising I'd just described a year of my life in four minutes, and got it wrong."

I have PMOS. I know the particular exhaustion of tracking your own body for months and still having nothing to show a doctor but a vague sense that something is off. I know what it's like to be told your cycles are just irregular, that the tiredness is normal, that it's probably stress, and to leave with no plan, no test, and the quiet suspicion you've wasted everyone's time.

What took me longest to forgive was how little I knew. Nobody had ever explained any of this to me, not at school, not at a check-up, not by anyone in my family. I didn't know irregular cycles could mean something. I didn't know acne and exhaustion and cravings could all belong to the same condition. I assumed that was just my body being difficult, and I lost years to that assumption.

One in eight of us has this, and up to seventy per cent don't know. That is not a coincidence, and it is not our fault, you cannot advocate for yourself about something nobody has told you exists. Knowing what your own body is doing shouldn't be specialist knowledge. It should be the baseline.

The frustrating part is that the information exists. It's in your body, every day. It just evaporates between the noticing and the appointment, because nobody can hold six months of symptoms in their head and recall them accurately under pressure in a ten-minute slot.

So I started building Lila, first for myself, then properly. Something that takes a minute a day, makes no claims it can't support, never tells me what to eat or what my body should weigh, and hands me one clear page when I need to be believed. Every choice in it comes from something that frustrated me, or from a woman who told me it frustrated her too.

That's also why half of what we make isn't an app at all, it's the plain, sourced writing I wish someone had handed me at seventeen. We deserve better than finding out by accident.

Questions

PCOS and PMOS, answered

The five things people ask most about the condition and its new name.

Why did they change PCOS to PMOS?

In May 2026 an international consensus renamed polycystic ovary syndrome to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, because the old name pointed at ovarian cysts that many people with the condition never have. The new name reflects that it is a hormonal and metabolic condition rather than only an ovarian one.

What are the signs of PMOS?

Common signs include irregular, infrequent or absent periods, acne, excess hair on the face or body, hair thinning, weight gain around the middle, and difficulty conceiving. Signs vary widely from person to person, and having some of them does not on its own mean you have PMOS.

How is PMOS diagnosed?

There is no single test. A diagnosis is usually made when at least two of three things are present — irregular or absent ovulation, raised androgen levels on a blood test or their visible signs, and polycystic ovaries on an ultrasound — after other conditions that look similar have been ruled out.

Can PMOS be cured?

There is no cure, but symptoms can often be managed and they change over the course of a life. Treatment usually targets whichever symptoms matter most to the person rather than the condition as a whole.

Can you get pregnant with PMOS?

Yes. PMOS is a common cause of difficulty conceiving because ovulation is irregular or absent, but most people with it who want to become pregnant do, often with treatment that helps ovulation along. A diagnosis says something about the route, not the outcome.

General information, not medical advice. Lila doesn't diagnose anything — if something here sounds like you, that's a conversation to have with a clinician.
