My SheMed journey

[Kebabo]

I gave signed up and am now waiting for the blood test to arrive. I'll post updates on here so you will know if it is reputable or not. Hope it will help others.

Shouldn't take long. My bloods were sent back Friday and I should have my pen tomorrow (Wednesday)

I did my blood test for shemed yesterday and they received this morning. How long do the results usually take and how long until we receive the pen?

Keep us posted. My blood test is coming today/this morning.
Eager to get going but not sure if fasting for 6 hours is required or have they changed guidance on this?
I eat toast at 7 before I got the email to say blood test on the way. Trying to avoid eating so I can wait to see instructions and send it off as soon as possible!

Yes you have to fast for 6 hours. I held off on eating after waking up, so I could do the test first thing in the morning and send it back asap

So excited for you! Sounds like after your blood test you heard back quick!

if your pen arrives today are you starting today?

Just completed my blood test and video call. Was actually 8lb lighter than when I weighed last week (norovirus - the gift that keeps on giving!)! Very excited to hopefully be approved.

When I received my email it stated that I didn't need to fast for my blood test.

My email said the same but the leaflet says you have to fast for 6hours before and drink a pint of water 30 mins before testing

Makes you think about how much money the online pharmacies must be making if SheMed can do this for £99 a month!?
Hoping that I get accepted. Waiting for blood test to be despatched as only signed up last night!

First jab done. Completely painless. They do include a bag of Gaviscon, Windeze Diarrhoea Relief and Senease. All bases covered!!!!

Does anyone know how long it took between sending their bloods, getting the results and then getting their first jab was?

Finally…I did my blood test today. Firstly it was delayed for a few days as we were snowed in and postie couldn’t get to us, then I had a health scare (previous history of DVT and I had signs again but turns out not to be) which meant I was on blood thinners for 3 days and the blood test kit says you can’t test if on blood thinners. So now all that is over I was able to test this morning. It was very simple and pretty much painless although I bled a lot and couldn’t pull the Tasso out fast enough so they have a very full pot of blood to deal with!
Hoping to have results by the end of the week and then, fingers crossed, be on the plan/study. Sorry @Kebabo that I’ve now fallen out of synch with you. I was rather enjoying having a sign up twin as we’d have been starting the same time if it wasn’t for my hiccups!

I saw something online that 2.5mg costs £92 and 5 is something like £103 so Shemed will be making a loss once everyone is on 5mg and above?

I'm on second jab and I've not needed to use any of them yet thankfully!

We will only be a few days apart. Here's to speedy results. You might have your pen on Saturday. Fingers crossed for you

Thank goodness!

Well jab done yesterday and no side effects yet. Time will tell if this will continue and whether the food noise stays quiet.

Got my blood testing kit this morning. Followed the instructions to the letter but had a complete nightmare. Little device drew zero blood from me! Luckily, I had some lancets from when I was part of the ONS Covid Study so had to do the old way and prick my finger. Connected immediately with an agent who talked me through the ID and stepping on the scales.

Really hoping that I get accepted and get MJ! Has anyone on here been given Wegovy from SheMed?

They seriously send all those things with the pen? That's amazing. Do other providers do this?

No

Boring post alert! 24 hours post 1st jab. Not hungry and zero side effects.

That's good! Moat people i spoke to have had nausea in the first couple of days!

I sent my blood test on Monday but royal.mail are rubbish and it's not been delivered yet! Hoping it will still be viable!

Fingers crossed for you

So you need to have scales? I’d better get mine ordered then!
