so i was blaming myself for irregular cycles… turns out my glucose was spiking and crashing around ovulation - cgm data showed it clear. the LH surge couldn’t happen because the glucose/insulin feedback loop was tanking androgens. once i understood that, everything clicked.
my endocrinologist mentioned insulin resistance and i almost dismissed it (not overweight, so that’s not me, right?). wrong. it’s not about weight - it’s about how your body processes glucose and how that blocks the LH surge from happening. metformin didn’t magically fix it.
what changed is i started logging glucose around my ovulation window. once it stabilized, the LH surge came back. cycles went from “day 35, maybe day 60” to “day 28, actually ovulated.” completely different approach. anyone else find it was metabolic once someone actually checked?
what made it click?
