I'm not quite sure yet Lisa. I've started a course last year to track cycles as a means of anticonception (it also tells me a lot about metabolism) by means of temperature tracking and cervix observation. But one would need an additional course for when you're hitting menopause. I should do that one first (or do more reading online) before I draw conclusions.
From what I do know it is safe to say that the older you get, the less progesterone you produce and it's progesterone that influences the length of the luteal phase. When you're still young, progesterone doesn't decline as much.
I'm forgetting though where progesterone is produced as opposed to estrogen which is the dominant one for the follicular phase. Apparently your estrogen production seems to have declined while progesterone didn't. Does this mean it's produced in 2 different places?
Am still quite ignorant (or rather forgetful) here.
Oh.. almost forgetting Kirjava: 90-125g is perfect for now. Going into ketosis is often just easier when you're someone that overeats on carbs a lot.Ketosis is a very effective appetite quencher. Eating 90ish g of carbs (on off-days) will diminsih appetite just enough but spare protein. A perfect place to be when you're exercising lots. Inactive & very obese people don't need as much protein or glucose, so they can deal with lower carbs and lower protein too.
