I (26F) have started working out for the past 3 months. I’ve been consistent and can feel the difference well. However, I struggle with sufficient protein intake as I’m a vegetarian. I’ve had 4 sachets of MuscleBlaze whey protein chocolate flavour the last 4 times I worked out (25g protein). Though it’s palatable and fine, my stomach feels really full and I feel extremely lethargic for a couple of hours post drinking it. Is this normal to feel this way ?

Also, I’ve noticed heat boils in 3 places in my body in this last week and the only thing different I’ve done is consume this protein powder.

Please tell me if what I’m facing is normal. Does this happen initially to everyone and gradually settles ? If this isn’t normal, pls suggest some other protein powders which have personally worked for you. Thank you.

I (25F) and my husband (28F) are planning to have a baby next year 2027 and planning to try to conceive end of this year or early next year.

Any tips to start now in order to enable us to have better chances and better quality of eggs and sperms ?

I have regular cycles albeit super painful ones. It makes me think I might have endometriosis because no matter what I do - good sleep, clean eating and constant workouts, it doesn’t help with the pain.
I don’t have any other symptoms other than acne and period pains. (nothing clinically confirmed though I’ve been to doctors, I’ve been dismissed).

My husband is in a highly stressful job - physically very demanding and mentally exhausting.

I am super confused with the plethora of information available that I don’t know what works. Pls share foolproof things which worked for you - men and women are welcome to share.
