Stopping trying for weight loss medication.

[Readytotryagain]

This time last year I’d just found out I was pregnant. 4 weeks later I found out the pregnancy was ectopic and treated with methotrexate. I’d fell pregnant within 2 months of stopping the pill and told myself it was fine it wouldn’t be long and I’d be pregnant again. How wrong was I. It’s been almost a year now and no such luck. This last years been hard, I’ve put on 3 stone taking me to 15 stone, at 5’9 I’m now in the ‘obese’ bmi category. My weight has been up and down my whole life (more up these past few years) despite upping gym time and eating better. I’ve decided to try mounjaro after a lot of research and thought. This means stopping trying to conceive for a while. Is anyone else in the same boat? Do you regret it? Has it been worth it? I’ve got 4 days left till my new cycle is supposed to start. Thank you for reading 🙂

I am doing this! Also had an ectopic and tried for ages after, but nothing. Have decided to focus on losing a bit of weight. It’s been quite slow for me, but it’s working. Have lost 2kg in 2 months so far, but it’s not going back on like it usually does. I think it will take a year (9m to get down to my required weight, then 3m to get out of my system to be able to start trying again).

Well done, 2kg is still a lot of weight to loose in 2 months. Did you up your dose after the first 4 weeks? I’m thinking it’ll be about a year or two before I get back to trying. I’ve just got to shift my mind focus I think, I’ve spent over a year concentrating on getting pregnant and need to switch it off. although I know il be a lot happier and comfortable in myself with the weight off.

Yes I’ve upped my dose each time, just ordered the third so should hopefully start seeing some bigger losses soon as I haven’t felt that much suppression of appetite and I’ve been craving sweet treats which is the opposite to what I normally eat! Good luck!!

Thank you ☺️ good luck to you too

I was toying with starting WL injections before I conceived with my second 4 months ago.

I'm now 17 weeks and I feel huge. I'm really struggling with the extra weight I'm carrying so my advice would be definitely try and get your weight down first particularly if you're feeling uncomfortable now.

@Alifemadelessordinary congratulations. Thank you that’s what I’m thinking, I’m at the point where I’m getting aches and things I know are weight related so pregnancy would only add to that right now. I’m 99% sure I’m making the right choice. My head is saying loose the weight, my heart is saying I just want a baby
