PCOS affects 1 in 10. I was dismissed, misdiagnosed & left to fix it myself. So I built the app the NHS wouldn’t. Help me launch it.

Perfect. Here is your final formatted crowdfunder page, ready to drop into Kickstarter, IndieGoGo, or wherever you’re launching your hormonal rebellion with receipts.



CYSTERAPP


No pink. No fluff. Just the facts your GP ignored.

A real app for people with PCOS. Built by someone who lived it.



ABOUT THE PROJECT


I didn’t build an app because I love tech.

I built one because no one helped me.

I started having symptoms at 15—irregular periods, fatigue, weight gain. I was told to stress less, lose weight, come back when I wanted a baby. So I did. I was referred to the wrong kind of consultant, again. Told I was wasting the appointment. And still—no treatment.

I privately prescribed myself Metformin and Inositol.

I got pregnant naturally after years of being told I wouldn’t.

PCOS made my pregnancy high risk. No one warned me—because they didn’t think I’d get that far.

Now I’m a mum. And I’m building the app I needed the entire time.



OUR MISSION


Cysterapp exists because the system doesn’t.

PCOS affects 1 in 10—but care is delayed, misdiagnosis is common, and research is minimal. Meanwhile, the world has seven kinds of boner pills and you can get Viagra over the counter. Most people with PCOS are still handed a packet of birth control and told to wait.

This isn’t just about hormones.

It’s about power.

We’re building a tool that:

  • Respects your symptoms
  • Tracks what matters
  • Produces real, GP-ready reports
  • Doesn’t assume you want a baby—or that you don’t
  • Doesn’t care about your BMI
  • Actually sees you




MEET THE FOUNDER


Genevieve Lambert is the founder of Cysterapp, a health platform designed to take PCOS seriously. After nearly a decade working in NHS operations and a personal battle with misdiagnosis, infertility, and being handed birth control like it was magic, she built the app she needed but could never find.

Diagnosed late. Ignored often. Dismissed constantly.

She privately funded her own treatment, got pregnant naturally, and is now raising a son and launching a platform to change reproductive health—for good.

She’s not a doctor. She’s someone who got tired of being dismissed and did something about it.



WHY WE’RE CROWDFUNDING


We’re staying community-led and independent.

No early VC funding. No watered-down features. No pink glitter wellness pipeline.

This app is being built with—and for—the people who need it.

We’re prioritizing accuracy, inclusion, and data that empowers.

But to do it right, we need your help.
