GLP-1 and menstrual irregularity — looking for input

Dr.GutHealth said:

Holding genuinely reduces total burden rather than redistributing it, because the gastric-emptying component adapts.

I dislike how confidently this board tells people to push through. Incidence figures around 20 to 25% at the higher doses are class-typical, but the trials also had a discontinuation column, and "manageable with protocols" is not the same as manageable for everyone.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. Practical: whatever you change, write down the date and the reason. In three months the reason is what you will have forgotten, and the reason is what makes the record worth having.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion. Almost every disagreement here turns out to be two people measuring different things and comparing the numbers anyway.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Following on from ben_calgary — and this may be the naive question:

Whether holding at a lower dose for longer actually reduces total side-effect burden or just spreads it out?

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Follow-up: smaller meals, less fat in the two days after dosing, and not lying down afterwards. Unglamorous, and it worked within a fortnight.
