does cycle actually matter or is it forum lore at this point

Caution

Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.

The claim: cycle matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 3 months without either producing anything.

What would actually settle it is 35 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.

If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.

This is correct. PCOS is real.

Came off after 76 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

The reflux was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.

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".
