stalled for 15 weeks at 2.5mg and I refuse to panic this time. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down.
The numbers the title promised, since a headline without them is worthless: 15 weeks and 2.5mg. Everything below is context for those.
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.
Fertility can change with weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity. That is a well-described phenomenon and worth knowing about in advance rather than discovering.
I will update this if the picture changes rather than quietly leaving it up.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Anything involving pregnancy, contraception efficacy or fertility planning belongs with a clinician. That is not a disclaimer, it is where the answers actually are.
Perimenopausal, or is that a separate question?
How many cycles has the pattern held for?
nothing on this board is a substitute for someone who knows your history
Have you asked a pharmacist about the absorption question specifically?
Correction: that trial did not enrol the population being discussed, so it cannot support the claim.
perimenopause and this overlap in ways nobody has good data on
fertility can change with weight loss and that surprises people
I would not read one person’s cycle-linked experience as a general pattern. The variation here is enormous.
PCOS is a diagnosis, not a description, and it matters which you mean
fertility can change with weight loss and that surprises people
Agreed, and the research gap being real rather than imagined is worth saying out loud.
Small fix — insulin resistance is a feature commonly seen in PCOS, not a synonym for it.
the trials were not designed to answer most of the questions asked here
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.
cycle timing changes how the same week feels
hair shedding follows the rate of loss, not the compound
Same. Perimenopause overlapping with all of this is the least documented area on the whole site.
