I Am Wondering On Average After Diet/health Changes, How Long Did It Take For Yall To Get Pregnant/have Labs Improve.
I am 3.5 months into health eating and regular exercise. I've lost almost 20% of my body weight (35 lbs). I believe I am still not releasing eggs because my LH levels still never go above 1.5 or so during ovulation.

NOTE: I am not insulin resistant.

Does Anyone Have Any Advice On Super Low Cortisol Levels??
Curious if anyone has ANY possible advice about having low cortisol. Particularly low cortisol/creatinine ratio. I’m still seeing doctors to try to figure this out but everyone seems pretty confused…and I’m so exhausted from being this way for a year now..low cortisol is likely causing my stomach issues, etc. and idk how to bring my cortisol up naturally?
