Mounjaro October starters - Thread 4

[JustKeepsBreathing]

Number 3 was almost full so hope it’s okay to start a new one @YummyCookie

This is a fast moving group but so useful 😀

Week 8 - 3rd week on 5mg
SW: 11st 8
CW: 10st 9
GW: 8st 6
H: 5 ft

Haven't updated on here the last two weeks as I haven't lost any weight - absolutely gutted. I got down to 10st 6 and now I'm back up to 10st 9 and it hasn't budged at all.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Has anyone had a few weeks where these been no difference/drop and you've gained weight. Also on my period which doesn't help.

I bet you have a massive drop in one go randomly. Iv had it in the past when losing weight. Very annoying. Keep going ☺️

Oh fab I'm so glad it's started to kick in! I take my hat off to you as not such I would have had the determination to persevere whilst getting no results and seeing others do so well.

@Fizzleaway1 that is truly brilliant! You look great and thank you for being brave enough to post. It will be a very long time before I look like that - I'm currently sporting a very large bread baby that sticks out beyond my boobs! In terms of others commenting, from past experience nobody commented when I'd lost weight before until I'd lost 2.5 stones and that was with a starting weight of 14st 4lbs but as others are saying I guess these days nobody will want to comment as we're becoming much more aware of fat people's feelings.
In terms of getting a credit from Medex please can someone help me out? I ordered on Saturday so I'm guessing I must be entitled to claim something back from them. I've looked at Mounj.co.uk and can't make head or tail of what I should send them, how much I should ask for or what I should say. I can see a chart with all the pharmacies listed and as I ordered a 5mg pen I it looks as though PILLSORTED comes out the cheapest at £129 which is £20 less than Medexpress? Do I just tell them about it, send them the whole chart or what? Sorry I'm a bit thick about tech stuff. TIA to anyone who can tell me what to do.

Oh rubbish. You obviously got a jobsworth who replied to you. I must've been lucky. Going to check my account now and see if it's still on there 😆

@recklessgran I just emailed them with a screenshot of the actual pharmacy. So save this image if you can and send to them.

It has their url at the bottom so shows where it's from.

[email protected] this is the email I've been using too.

Oh thanks @qotsa - do I just say I'm requesting a price match?

Follow this link:

support.medexpress.co.uk/hc/en-gb/requests/new

And then add price match promise request in the subject I should. It asks for your order number anyway on that form ☝🏼 so they will be able to see your account.

How much is it making the pens on med express with these discounts ?

Currently sat in a cafe with a cup of tea working and the tea is making me feel so ‘eugh’ I might have to bin it.

Feeling extra tired today too, would kill for a chilled night but we are visiting friends who have just had a baby so no rest for me.

@qotsa thanks so much for your help - I've done it now so I'll report back.as soon as I hear from them.
@Fizzleaway1 in my case, the 5mg would be £129 [from Pillsorted] but MedEx charge £149. I was very lucky that 2 people had used my referral code to buy their first pen so I got £80 off. That means that I only had to pay £69 plus p+p for my last pen. If MedEx agree to the double price match and credit me with 2x £20 then in real terms that pen would actually only have cost me £29 which is bonkers. Three thoughts - [a] How grateful I am to those who used my code [b] I hope they don't go bankrupt and [c] Just how much of what we're paying is profit?

Depends which pen. The 5mg is now £149.99 on ME (£10 cheaper than what I paid 😠) and the Pill Sorted.com one is £129.99 so, after you order, they will credit you £40 to your account.

That's good @recklessgran 👌🏽 I'm slightly annoyed as I price matched to one that was only £11 cheaper as that was the best I could find a couple of weeks ago. Tbf though it was over the 14 days AND they have since honoured the double price match even though it only started two days ago so I guess I shouldn't grumble 😆

This is the screen shot I sent them. It's the difference between the cost of the pen you purchased from med express (cost before postage) and the cost from another provider, but not including any discounts the other provider may offer. Difference on a 5mg pen here is £24.99 and that's then doubled under the offer and the credit added to your med express account for your next purchase.

I haven't done it with MedExpress yet as IQ Dr was cheaper when I ordered but this is the page you want to look at. It has a link to the cheapest providers website and also explains what to send to MedExpress.

@Fizzleaway1 you should be very pleased with the difference between your pics, you've had great results so far. I think previous posters are right, most people nowadays, unless you had told them you were deliberately losing weight, wouldn't say anything just in case!

Yes me! Well I've lost 1lb in 2 weeks but I feel slimmer than that loss indicates so I am happy and think I will start losing it on the scales again

Hi sorry to ask this, but does anyone have a code for IQ Doctor, apparently according to Monj.co.uk I can get 7.5mg for £125 with the discount. Thank you

@Gilly1C the codes are on the monj.co.uk website in the last column. The IQ doctor code is HMJR23

MedEx have refused to price match Pill Sorted as they say there is an additional prescription fee. I'm confused and don't know how I would know that. It seems to me that the only way I'd find that out would be to sign up with them.
I've found that in fact The Private Pharmacy Clinic are charging £125 for the 5mg pen so I've tried again and sent them their screenshot.
On top of that MedEx are asking which pen I want to order but I don't want to order at the moment as I already have enough MJ to last me in to the New Year and don't know at this point what I'm going to order next. Sigh. I'm exasperated!!

Thank you so much, I appreciate that. I am so daft

Is there a way to check your Med Express credits? They said they'd applied a credit to my account to price match, but I can't see anywhere in my account where I can check.

Thanks in advance.

https://www.theprivatepharmacyclinic.co.uk/ seem to be the cheapest at the moment for any price matching :)
