Gonna push back on this one. GLP-1 and menstrual irregularity is not that straightforward in my experience. I have been on this for 12 months and the reality is messier than the trials suggest.
Don't get me wrong — the medication works. But cost accessibility is a real barrier. We should be honest about that.
Adding my data to this GLP-1 and menstrual discussion:
| Metric | Baseline | Month 3 | Month 6 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 264 lbs | 249 lbs | 219 lbs |
| A1C | 6.8% | 5.8% | 5.2% |
| hsCRP | 8.0 | 2.0 | 0.6 |
Protocol: Semaglutide 2.4mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.6g/kg/day.
Community-driven peptide testing and vendor rating platform. Transparent results. Unbiased analysis. Trusted by thousands.
View ResultsSlightly tangential to GLP-1 and menstrual but james_edin reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
