OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on PCOS and GLP-1 agonists .
To answer DanielChem_CHI: my doctor and I discussed the options and went with brand.
Quick update: I have noticed more improvement since posting this. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
Adding my data to this PCOS and GLP-1 agonists discussion:
| Metric | Baseline | Month 4 | Month 6 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 264 lbs | 234 lbs | 199 lbs |
| A1C | 6.8% | 6.2% | 5.2% |
| hsCRP | 8.0 | 3.0 | 0.6 |
Protocol: Tirzepatide 15mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.6g/kg/day.
+1 to MeganSA_TX. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with PCOS and GLP-1 agonists .
Slightly tangential to PCOS and GLP-1 agonists but emma_london 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.
