So I’m just curious here as I read something this week about a study taking place. I’ve been taking Mounjaro 2.5mg for a year now. I’m pretty much where I want to be weight wise so I’m hoping I’m on my last pen and will see how I go. But for the last four months I have had problems with my vaginal microbiome - uncomfortable and unbalanced. I never thought to connect the two but I wonder if the weight loss has changed my hormones? I’m just curious to see if anyone else has found this?

Slightly different example but I think my weight loss has had a hormonal impact - I have a Mirena coil which entirely stopped my periods for years but since returning to a healthy weight they have returned, albeit very short and light and on a 25 day cycle. Fat cells do store oestrogen.

Alternatively, how old are you? Could it be peri / menopause?

I’m 42 so could be yes
