14 months in and insulin resistance is still the thing I get wrong
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.
Setup: 7.5mg, week 57, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — insulin resistance — and tracked it for 15 weeks.
Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.
Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

This is correct. PCOS is real.
This is correct.
Disagree on that part. 96.2% and 96.8% on the same vial is normal.
Yeah, contraception is under-researched.
the cycle tracking data matters, keep it private
Came off after 93 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 50 weeks to accept.

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

Slight fix: the number was 99.2, not 99.1. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
The nausea was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.
Strongly agree. Cycle changes are documented.

Has anyone actually got this in writing, or is it forum lore at this point?
cycle changes are real and under-researched
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

Sweden here. Waited 6 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
