PCOS — my 15-week log, condensed into one table
PCOS — my 15-week log, condensed into one table. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down. Hormonal variation across the cycle affects appetite, fluid retention and subjective symptom intensity independently of anything else, which is why an unannotated log can look mysterious. Questions…
Retitled to distinguish a cycle-linked pattern from a dose-linked one.
Has this been raised with whoever prescribes?
Fertility changed faster than I expected with the weight loss. Nobody had raised it and I wish somebody had.
Correction: that trial did not enrol the population being discussed, so it cannot support the claim.
Telogen shedding follows a period of significant weight change rather than a specific compound, and it resolves.
Where in the cycle does this fall, if you are tracking it?
Right, and symptom patterns tracking the cycle rather than the dose explains a lot of confusing weeks.
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.
