[Meta] the cycle rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining

Question Long Haul ×8

Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.

The advice on perimenopause in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.

I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.

Yeah, contraception is under-researched.

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

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 12 weeks to accept.

This is correct. PCOS is real.

Crossposting this to c/t2dglp1 because the people who need it are not reading this community.

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

fertility signal is there but unclear

hormonal contraception interactions are speculative

Adding to this: insulin resistance is doing more work than the comment implies.

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

Small correction: the trial was 11 weeks, not 26. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Strongly agree. Cycle changes are documented.

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