[Results] 60 weeks on 1.0mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring
60 weeks on 1.0mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring. Posting the boring middle of the process, because the internet is full of the start and the end and nothing else.
To save the first four comments: 60 weeks and 1.0mg.
Perimenopause and all of this at once, and there is essentially nothing written about the combination anywhere.
Asked a pharmacist about the absorption question rather than the internet. Ten minutes, clear answer, done.
Corrections welcome, especially the pedantic ones. Pedantry is how this board earns its reputation.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Questions about oral contraceptive absorption and gastric emptying are legitimate pharmacology questions with product-specific answers. A pharmacist can answer them properly; a board cannot.
Telogen shedding follows a period of significant weight change rather than a specific compound, and it resolves.
That trial did not enrol the population you are asking about, so it cannot answer this.
That is a general statement about gastric emptying, and the question was about a specific product.
the trials were not designed to answer most of the questions asked here
Hormonal variation across the cycle affects appetite, fluid retention and subjective symptom intensity independently of anything else, which is why an unannotated log can look mysterious.
PCOS and insulin resistance are the thread that runs through this board
Correcting myself upthread: the shedding started at week 19 for me, not the week I gave.
Right, and symptom patterns tracking the cycle rather than the dose explains a lot of confusing weeks.
cycle timing changes how the same week feels
Careful — anything touching pregnancy is not a board question in any form.
This. Anything involving pregnancy or contraception goes to a clinician, and this board should keep saying so.
log the cycle alongside the dose if you want the pattern to be visible
Pointing the contraception question at a pharmacist. They can answer it properly and we cannot.
Same. Perimenopause overlapping with all of this is the least documented area on the whole site.
Not convinced by the attribution. That pattern tracks the cycle in your own log more closely than it tracks the dose.
say what you are actually asking, the vocabulary here is imprecise
I would not read one person’s cycle-linked experience as a general pattern. The variation here is enormous.
symptom patterns can track the cycle rather than the dose
Disagree — that is a general claim about absorption and the specific question needs a pharmacist rather than a board.
Insulin resistance is a common feature in PCOS, which is why the metabolic conversation overlaps so heavily with this board. A diagnosis and a finding are still different things and the distinction matters for what the evidence says.
Agreed that the vocabulary here is imprecise and it causes people to answer different questions to the ones asked.
iron and ferritin questions come up here more than anywhere else on the site
hair shedding follows the rate of loss, not the compound
perimenopause and this overlap in ways nobody has good data on
