Discussion

the fertility question that gets asked weekly, answered properly. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments.

Brought the cycle-annotated log to an appointment and it changed the conversation completely.

Perimenopause and all of this at once, and there is essentially nothing written about the combination anywhere.

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

Perimenopausal, or is that a separate question?

How many cycles has the pattern held for?

Disagree — that is a general claim about absorption and the specific question needs a pharmacist rather than a board.
