Where are all the Wegovy folks?

It seems to be very Mounjuro heavy on this board?

Would love to hear from those on Wegovy. How have you found it? How much have you lost?

I'm starting on Monday (getting my first month's supply Monday afternoon!)

My prescriber is saying I need to change from mounjaro to wegovy due to HRT! I’m only three weeks in using mounjaro, so am keen to hear about other wegovy experiences.

why? I have been on HRT for years and Mounjaro for about 17 months with no problem.

What dose mounjaro are you on?
it’s my prescriber saying my utrogestan is not as affective on mounjaro.

KarenMM · 05/08/2025 21:49

I’m on combined HRT, daily estrogel and 12 days each month of utrogestan

I am on continuous oral HRT. I’ve been as high as 15mg of Mounjaro but am currently on 10mg. I have been telling my provider I am on HRT but I haven’t specifically said it’s oral HRT.

What I don’t understand is why Mounjaro is not suitable for you but Wegovy is? They both work by delaying the speed at which your stomach empties.

This page has some info and one option is increasing your dose of utrogestan

Thanks for this article, I’ve asked the provider pharmacist to call me to discuss more.

I’m on week 6 of Wegovy and have stalled.

first couple of weeks I lost 5-6kgs. Now I’ve plateaued since then. Even expecting a gain this week tbh.

Has anyone gone from Wegovy to Mounjaro? I'm aware of the price increases but Wegovy has ceased to have any effect on me and I still have a stone to lose. I am maintaining my weight with calorie counting but not losing anything so wondering about switching. Also - does it work from the initial lower dose does anyone know? Thanks 🙏

Did you switch? I feel as if Wegovy hasn’t been working for me for a while now

NoKnickerElastic · 07/09/2025 17:40

@washinwashoutrepeat no I haven't. I've just ordered my final Wegovy pen and am going to try and give it one last push to get as much as I can over the next 6 weeks then I'm going to stop and see what happens! Hopefully I'll have learnt enough & got into decent habits to keep it off. Wish me luck!!

I’m waiting for my Wegovy to be dispatched, I can’t wait! I’ve made a September Wegovy thread if you want to join thought we’d all be new starters together then. Good luck x

I've finally hit a BMI of 25! It's taken 8 months as I've had various illnesses and also taken the decision to go slow. I've been on 1mg for about 3 months and it's working well for me.
