Hi, I just found your newsletter and appreciate this post so much. I had a massive ischemic stroke at 52. I was fortunate that it was witnessed and medical intervention began within the hour resulting in recovery with no lasting effects. That was 3 1/2 years ago. I am so grateful.

Your mention of APOs makes me question the IVF treatments I had at age 39 and 41. The first caused severe hyper ovarian stimulation with complications (ovarian torsion and removal). I have always wondered if those events w/could impact my future health. I would be curious to know your thoughts on this. Thank you.

Thanks for this article. I had no idea that my preterm labor due to placental abruption increased my risk for stroke.
