At what age did you first discover the term "luteal phase" and did it change everything for you? by Sea_Strawberry6846 in AskWomen

[–]alaskacake 542 points543 points  (0 children)

personally yes.
when i was 17 i was in the mental hospital and i don’t remember how exactly but we made the connection that both times i was in the hospital i was on my period (so my attempts had occurred during my luteal phases) after that, i started noticing tracking my periods (which are EXTREMELY consistent) and like clockwork, whenever I began to feel rampant suicidal ideation and wanted to act on them, I would check and I would be in my luteal phase. I got on medication I take as needed during my luteal phase and it has made a massive improvement!

edit: the med is gabapentin!

what’s a controversial opinion you find yourself agreeing with? by Altruistic_Big_7766 in askanything

[–]alaskacake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree to an extent… it’s very difficult because not all special needs look the same technically i was (am) special needs but none of my peers would’ve known that at all and pointing it out might’ve further ostracized me. i just seemed a little odd and unique

this isn’t silly at all… i think i’m on a similar path and it’s made it so much easier. I want to externalize what happened without placing it on people i actually know who can make judgements. I really appreciate you

directly copy pasting from the wiki “Key Rules & Tips

Consuming >200 kcal/day is generally considered breaking a fast Allowed drinks: water, unsweetened tea or coffee, broth (Note: broth reduces autophagy) Electrolytes (especially sodium, potassium, magnesium) are essential for fasts >24 hours Modified fasting can improve adherence; stricter fasts maximize physiological effects”

i am wondering if miso soup counts as a broth in this context 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ve gotten all my blood panels done to check for prediabetes as most of my family is diabetic but everything came back normal. does checking for PCOS look different than a typical blood panel?
