Hello,
Can anyone tell me if being on Wegovy would stop us being able to be referred for fertility treatment.
I’ve just started taking it. My local fertility clinic rejected our fertility referral as we had only been trying to conceive for 10 months, and they said we needed to be trying for 12 even though we have technically been trying for longer, just not all in one go. Seemed like a tedious rejection. However, my GP said they’re willing to make a referral again for us in February as that will be 12 months of ttc.
The only thing is I have started taking Wegovy this week. Mostly because I wanted to maximise our chances to conceive as I have PCOS and it’s meant to be good for insulin resistance and regulating ovulation. I’m not hugely overweight. My BMI is 26.5. I don’t smoke, or drink alcohol and I exercise.
I know you must stop Wegovy for 2 months before ttc. My thinking was, take Wegovy all the time I’m waiting for the fertility referral to be made again.
I am desperate to have a baby. I have no other children. I’m struggling with it now. I want to do all that I can. I really hope the fertility clinic wouldn’t reject my referral again because I’m now on it?
If anyone has any experience of this, please let me know.
