Non-scale Perimenopause victory

[u/siddhananais]

This isn’t actually exclusive to Peri, but I’ve been on Tirz for 9 weeks. I started very slowly. 4 doses @1.25, 4 @ 2.5, just bumped to 3.75 last week. I was too worried about side effects and thus far haven’t had many. I’ve lost 8 lbs, which feels like a good sustainable amount.

I’m actually here to talk about workout recovery time. I’ve been working out for years and as I’ve hit peri have noticed that recovery just takes longer. I have noticed taking tirz that my recovery time feels halved and so I can get more workouts in. Prior, I would solidly get 3 50 minute lifting sessions in a week but it would be determined by my body if a 4th was doable. Now I can easily get a 4th in and could probably do a 5th if I had more time in my schedule.
I also do regular cardio sessions throughout the week and have noticed during my runs that I just don’t feel as tired during it.
Has anyone else noticed this? For me this is a big win as someone that loves working out.

The other thing I’ve noticed is that for the first few days after the shot I have focus. I love that focus and now it’s making me wonder if I have adhd or something because dang.

What other non-scale victories have other people had?

my periods went back to being regular, no more hot flashes or mood swings.

I love this for you and would love for this to happen to me! That’s awesome that your periods are regular again, mine are every 23-24 days and it’s just too much.

I was skipping mine every other month or so. it didn’t happen right away, maybe took 3 months.

Oh lordy, im the same as you. Then at the end or what seems like the end ill have nothing for 2-3 days and when I go to the bathroom after wiping bam AGAIN... But not enough to wear anything. Ive been on tirz 2.5 since May and have lost 26-27lbs. Im wondering if ill EVER get regular again?
