contraception: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1

Fertility

Update, and the title has the headline: contraception: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1.

Went looking for trial data on the specific question asked here and found the population had not been enrolled.

Asked a pharmacist about the absorption question rather than the internet. Ten minutes, clear answer, done.

Ask me anything specific. Anything general I will probably get wrong.

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.

The hair shedding was the thing that frightened me most and the thing that mattered least. It stopped.

Is this a PCOS diagnosis or an insulin resistance finding?

Started logging the cycle in the same sheet as the dose. Three months later the pattern was obvious and it had been invisible before.

Are you asking about the compound, the weight loss, or both?

fertility can change with weight loss and that surprises people

The same dose genuinely feels different at different points in the month for me. Took a year to notice and it was in the log the whole time.

Adding the one thing nobody warns about — fertility can change, and quickly.

That is a general statement about gastric emptying, and the question was about a specific product.

Disagreeing with this line: the absorption question has a product-specific answer and a pharmacist has it.

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".
