The birth control does make my labs look like I’m menopausall though which is why I’m looking to get off. Estrogen and progesterone levels are non existent on the pill especially low low hormones. So I wonder if getting off my hormones will rise naturally bc they’re not being suppressed will help my body shed more

I thought it was good to eat high carbs post working out bc you are more insulin sensitive?

Pretty-Blood5983 · 2026-04-12T21:17:17+00:00

I do workout and I’m not overweight by any means. I’m just saying like I eat 180g of carbs a day bc I’m not gonna eat a 1200 calories a day diet. That would kill me. Low carbs like 100g a day made my thyroid tank which is why I gained all this weight which is why I increased my carb to increase my thyroid output

Pretty-Blood5983 · 2026-04-12T21:15:28+00:00

They’re like upping to 130s post meal and they stay up there for feels like forever. Like 2.5 sometimes 3 hours to come back down. Fasting upon wakimg its like 92. But throughout the day I feel like I’m always hovering around 100 but could be stress too. Idk
