kinda depressing about the preg rate. while i'm not interested in getting pregnant, i'd love to get my cycle back. i've been eating paleo for several years but got off the pill in december and no luck yet. also, my weight is dropping since i stopped pumping myself full of synthetic hormones. i know you're a guy so this isn't really your arena but have you run into any literature regarding hormone regulation/function in regards to paleo eating? my bloodwork in the past has been normal so i'm not anxious about it but i do want to be patient and not jump to band aid the problem with some prescription med to induce it again.
