Following on from Dr.LeslieOBGYN — and this may be the naive question:

Did your prescriber agree with that reading, and if not what was their objection?

I read this differently from TrialTracker_MD, on substance rather than tone. Pushing back on the anecdote-stacking. Twenty people reporting the same thing is twenty samples from the same self-selected pool, not twenty independent confirmations.

That holds where the measurement is reliable. Where it is noisy — and a lot of what gets tracked here is noisy — the same reasoning produces confident nonsense.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.

Closing the loop on my own question.

Reporting back with a partial result, because a partial result is still better than silence. Two of the three things suggested helped; I cannot separate them and I am not going to pretend otherwise.
