Hi everyone. I have been researching and reading all your threads here and have decided to order mounjaro but just can't decide who to buy from. Has anyone used 'the care pharmacy'? They seem very cheap. I suppose I need to look into them more.

Obviously, like everyone seems to be before starting, I'm worried about side effects. I normally have a very strong stomach and wondered if there was any link to this and being lucky with side effects? Or the opposite too? I'm due to start work in 3 weeks after being a sahm for 4 years and so not keen on being seen as 'the new woman who's always on the toilet/being sick'!

Lastly, I'm 33 and most of the threads on here where people have stated their age, seem to be late 40s+, so I just wondered if any other people in their 30s here have started and how have you found it? I have 4ish stone to lose.

Actually one last thing, I have pcos, anyone else? How has this affected your results?

Thanks so much!

Morning!
I’m just on day 3 of week 1 atm and I’m 34!
I’d say I’ve got a strong stomach too, I’m never sick, rarely have any tummy trouble and can eat just about anything with absolutely no issues.
I’ve so far had 0 issues and I’m hoping it continues! Although it is early days! My only side effect is extreme thirst, and I’ve had suppression from D1.

Whether that helps or not I don’t know 🤣

Good Luck!!

I think you're seeing those ages mentioned a lot because it's harder to lose weight then, people in their 30's or early 40s probably don't see a need to disclose their age.

It's impossible to say whether you will have side effects, but most who have them say they're short lived. I started in June and it hasn't affected me in work at all.

If you've tried everything else unsuccessfully to lose weight - then it's worth a go! The care pharmacy get good feedback from what I've heard.

All the very best of luck!❤️

No side effects and suppression from day 1 is exactly what I want to hear! 😀 Thanks for replying. Do you mind me asking where you bought from and how much you paid please?

Thanks @NewLifter I posted before I saw your reply. Yes what you said about people posting their age makes sense.

Good to hear the side effects haven't affected you in work. I know there isn't any way of knowing, I'm just nervous and trying to convince myself I'll be one of the lucky ones.

Good luck with your weight loss.

Hi! I’m 33 and had 5-6 st to lose. I’m on week 13 and so far have lost 3 st (1 lbs till 3 st to be exact). I’ve not had any side effects and have experienced immediate suppression. I only started the 5 mg dose 3 weeks ago!

I’m with MedExpress and can’t fault them:

  • you can get £40 off your first order with a discount code (happy to send you mine)
  • they do price match if you find the pen cheaper elsewhere
  • they support maintenance once you reach goal weight

Also used med express, think it was £113 for the first pen. I just used a random code from the code thread. I must have one myself to give out too, seems like everyone gets one! Let me know if you want it!

I am with Care Pharmacy.
Their initial software is a bit clunky but they are cheap, quick and have been both quick and well packaged.

Thank you, that's great to hear!

Sorry if this is a really stupid question but for the photos, can I send fully clothed photos? Or is underwear better?

I just had a vest and cycling shorts on and that was fine.

I had shorts and T-shirt
