[Results] 25 weeks, 12kg, and contraception was the hard part
25 weeks, 12kg, and contraception was the hard part, logged the same way every week so the comparison is at least internally fair. 25 weeks and 12kg — those are the numbers, and they are the ones I am willing to defend. Insulin resistance is a common feature in PCOS, which is why the metabolic conversation overlaps…
Started logging the cycle in the same sheet as the dose. Three months later the pattern was obvious and it had been invisible before.
Trial populations for the major programmes were not designed around the questions this board asks most often, which is why the evidence base here is genuinely thinner rather than merely harder to find.
Correction: that trial did not enrol the population being discussed, so it cannot support the claim.
Brought the cycle-annotated log to an appointment and it changed the conversation completely.
the same dose can feel different at different points in the month
Is this a PCOS diagnosis or an insulin resistance finding?
Have you asked a pharmacist about the absorption question specifically?
Telogen shedding follows a period of significant weight change rather than a specific compound, and it resolves.
Started logging the cycle in the same sheet as the dose.
Agreed, and the research gap being real rather than imagined is worth saying out loud.
