[Discussion] fertility is doing more work than we give it credit for

Discussion The Quiet One ×7 Slow Clap ×3

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, muscle cramps, 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 3 months. My hs-CRP 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.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

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".
