MON-LB9 Cyclic Progesterone Therapy in Androgenic Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) - Person-Related 6-Month Experience Changes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Endometrial cancer1 and oligomenorrhea2 are common risks for women living with androgenic PCOS (WLWP); cyclic progesterone therapy could prevent both. Cyclic oral micronized progesterone therapy (Cyclic OMP; 300 mg at hs/14 days/cycle) also corrects the neuroendocrine origins of PCOS3. Although vaginal progesterone is used in PCOS ovulation induction 4, and short Cyclic OMP decreases LH and/or Testosterone 5,6, no WLWP person-level prospective data with Cyclic OMP therapy are published. A WLWP, aged 31, BMI 20.1, with heavy flow and slightly irregular ~35-day cycles, was unable to tolerate birth control pills. She was prescribed Cyclic OMP (300 mg/h.s. cycle days 14-27)7. She began keeping the Menstrual Cycle Diary© (Diary), a 19-item tool (scored 0-4), during her 1st Cyclic OMP cycle and took no other therapy. This pilot study was designed to understand Cyclic OMP-related experience changes in WLWP: 1) by documenting experience changes on the 1st to the 6th complete Diary; and 2) by assessing follicular phase changes in baseline data (no Rx) vs. cycles 3 and 6. We entered data from six consecutive Diaries into an SPSS (Version 24) database. Analysis #1 used Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Tests (for within-person ordinal data) and #2 repeated measures ANOVA. Research question: What Cyclic OMP-related experience changes occurred for a WLWP? On Cyclic OMP, she spontaneously reported improvements in aching joints, sleep and GI problems. We assessed selected, potentially E2-related Diary changes: flow, fluid retention, breast tenderness, stretchy cervical mucus and anxiety. Cyclic OMP was associated with shorter cycle lengths of 28.17+/-0.8 days. Fluid retention (P=0.000), mucus (P=0.048), and breast tenderness (P=0.000) all decreased, but anxiety and flow were unchanged. Follicular phase only fluid retention significantly decreased (F (1.2, 14.7) = 6.7, P =0.017). Although open-label, these prospective analyses suggest that Cyclic OMP, alone, is related to short-term benefits in androgenic PCOS. Prospective studies and controlled comparative trials of this innovative “luteal phase replacement” PCOS therapy are needed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
