the contraception question that gets asked weekly, answered properly

Fertility

contraception. That is the whole post, but I will justify it.

Everything else people worry about in c/semaglutide is downstream of it. Titration speed, early fullness, the endless dose arguments — most of it resolves if you sort contraception out first, and almost nobody does.

I say this having got it wrong for 24 months. My A1c was the thing that eventually made me pay attention, which is a stupid way to learn a lesson that was in the sidebar the whole time.

My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

This is correct. PCOS is real.

Yeah, insulin resistance is under-researched.

Week 70 for me and the honest summary is: 19kg down, injection-site soreness manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.

About c/glp1women

The questions the trials under-powered: PCOS and insulin resistance, cycle changes, fertility signal and contraception interactions, perimenopause and menopause weight physiology, and the fact that the pregnancy answer is always "not while trying, talk to your clinician".
