Lots of very useful discussions going on on the old thread, so I thought I would continue it!

I placed an order with Bolt yesterday. They’ve emailed today to advise it may take 1 - 2 weeks before it’s processed and shipped. Good job I don’t need it quicker than that.

Oh poo. That's who I ordered from. I was always leaving ordering when I had one dose left. Not doing that again.

They've just refunded the order I placed yesterday and I only wanted a single 10mg pen Sad

This is the same as me. I’m really pissed off. I was just proceeding as usual and this stupid chaos has left me with one weeks supply left.

and I can’t switch provider as they’re all inundated with orders and advising of delays. What a fuck up.

have you had any communication other than the refund email?

My medexpress order was reviewed and approved in about 2 hours, today 👍 just waiting for dispatch.

Wow, that’s impressive.

Chemist4u have said they have stock and no plans to put prices up in line with list price!

Hotflushesandchilblains · 15/08/2025 17:54

She Med are fucking useless, just said they would tell me if they were going to increase their prices. And that if I want to switch to Wegovy, I will have to start from scratch again.

Snozzlemaid · 15/08/2025 17:55

Lots of emails coming in now from pharmacies I’ve ordered from. ZAVA say they’re prioritising orders for existing customers.

I’ve ordered from loads of pharmacies and had nothing yet from anyone I’ve ordered with in the past!

All I’ve had from Oushk is a confirmation. They’ve said that’s allocated stock though, so I’m assuming that it’ll be approved tomorrow after my weight call n

They have phoned me back again… I can only have 1 pen.

10mg on medicine marketplace come September will be….

£239 😧£104 a month increase.

The new list price for a 10mg is £255 - sounds like some good discounts have been made. When I’m back from the gym I’m going to start a spreadsheet of the prices

Does anyone know if IQ Doctor ask for photos for every order? I switched to them last month and it took 4 days for the approval so thinking I will reorder early now, given all of this, but am away for a few days without gym wear or a printer. First reorder with them so don’t know the protocol.

No, just the email saying it's been refunded. I've asked why on their website but as it's Friday evening I don't know if I'll hear anything until next week.

CoverMeInMarmalade · 15/08/2025 18:15

For those worried about supply, Oushk have posted: "New stock of higher strengths is due early next week, and once it's safely with us, the system will update again and ordering will reopen." So worth keeping an eye out if you need higher doses.

Is it possible the announcement is that prices will go up massively and that makes Trump happy but then behind the scenes lots of deals are struck so that the price increase is far smaller? Trump can’t make Eli Lily share all their contracts and the US Gov has so many other things to be a world super power on.

Fatbride · 15/08/2025 18:16

@ConfusedMiddleAger83 they've asked me to for all 3 of my orders, the first 2 were just the standard front and side photos but the latest they wanted me to hold a piece of paper with my order number on. They have also put my order on hold before because I ordered too early, it still arrived in plenty of time but worth noting. Mine has never taken more than a day for approval but I expect there will be lots of delays at the moment so probably best to order earlier.

Yes this is exactly what’s happening. Trump is working based on the list price. All negotiations are confidential

I hope so! I lost already 14 kilos but I still need another 10 kilos to lose.

Fatbride · 15/08/2025 18:20

@ConfusedMiddleAger83 I didn't have to wear gym wear I just wore normal clothes and just wrote my order number on a sheet of paper, but I am very obviously fat so that's probably why I didn't need fitted clothing 😂.

**. It is doable honestly but at least you were honest and admitted you did lose weight when on 1200 cals a day . I came off of MJ after 6 weeks as I hated the heartburn 3 days a week and felt like I had a hangover all the time - I’ve stuck to eating as if I’m on it though and am losing at the same rate - 1200 cals a day strict Monday to Friday and 1500 to 1600 Friday and Saturday to allow for a bit of wine. I have learned to like salad and then a lot of prawns or chicken breast or a curry with cauliflower rice or stir fry’s with just smaller portions and more protein , less noodles. - mountains of greek yoghurt and berries , hard boiled eggs and cottage cheese for breakfast etc - a lot of protein is key as is lots of water - you can actually eat quite a lot for 1200 cals - but sadly of certain things. No cakes, no biscuits etc - It’s I think a mind set thing - and I’m like you I said I couldn’t cope with the hunger at 1200 but have found I’m not actually hungry if I eat certain things. MJ for me worked as a reset to eat a certain way, so I’m greatful for that - I’ve had a couple of days where I ate 2200 or at least 1800 and I didn’t put weight on so I think eating differently has also kicked started my metabolism ( and I’m 63) still got 3 stone to go but I can now see it’s doable- boring somewhat but doable

Now THIS is how it is done - says Neuro Spicey Cat

If neurospiceycat hadn’t already shown themselves up these last few days for who and what they are. A vile little pussy who hunts the boards looking for sport against Mounjaro users rather than the normal mice or birds, then that last post of theirs on the previous thread certainly blew them right out of the water and made it very obvious we were spot on with recognizing the intent behind their posting.

And as for now this is how it’s done - well it just goes to show that what they know about Mounjaro and the people who use is sweet fanny Adam’s in real terms because I’m pretty sure, that what they’re applauding the other poster for is also what the majority of us are actually doing as well. 😆

ConfusedMiddleAger83 · 15/08/2025 18:33

Thanks @Fatbride and @LifeOfAShowGirl.

I still have a BMI of 43 after a 2.5 st loss so also obviously need it! Good to know the pics will be needed. I’m fine with waiting for the dispatch, just getting a bit twitchy about supply.

Do you have a bikini? They have to keep the pics confidential so I was snapping away in my underwear for a while 😁🤣

I’ve been with IQ for 6 months now and only ever supplied photos for my first order.

I’m still waiting for them to explain why someone with a BMI over 30 won’t be able to switch from Mounjaro to Wegovy, as they claimed on the first thread 🤔
