Lost weight + got pregnant?!

It's important to remember that while anecdotes are interesting, they don't replace actual scientific studies. We need more research to understand the full impact of GLP-1 medications on fertility and pregnancy.

Did 500 mcg twice daily for a knee injury. Worked fantastic. First week dropped three from just losing inflammation. Month in fully healed and back to training. All those little pains from daily life just gone too. Big fan.

Sometimes look up a dog matching my weight lost to visualize. I've lost a bloodhound.

Congrats, I'm excited for you! You've got this. I'm on 1.5 mg tablets for just over 2 weeks and down 5 pounds though I think a lot is water weight. Are you doing injections or pills?

The fertility improvement stories are clustering enough to be more than coincidence - the visceral fat reduction and metabolic stabilization from Reta create conditions that genuinely help, and the IVF-then-natural-pregnancy pattern is something enough people have documented that it's worth taking seriously. Stopping on discovery is the right call; the data on first-trimester exposure isn't there to justify continuing. The previous miscarriage context makes the outcome more meaningful, and the community has seen this pattern often enough that it feels like part of what these compounds do beyond weight loss specifically.

What was your starting weight versus now? I'm on OZ myself trying to get down enough to conceive!

Congrats to you as well!

Standing at five feet myself and put on twenty pounds through pregnancy, none of my clothes fit right now, and even trying to eat well feels impossible since caring for the baby keeps me in pure survival mode.

Dropped 75 lbs while running mounjaro, had to pause it in 2024 for IVF, and between the hormone treatments, pregnancy, and delivery, ended up 65 lbs heavier at my peak postpartum weight this past April. My A1C was never elevated though, was running it purely for weight loss (before Zepbound existed)

Nope, ended up 15 lbs lighter than my actual target because my body settled back to where it was before the pregnancy complications, insulin resistance, and eventual diabetes that led me to Mounjaro in the first place. Once it hit that baseline, the weight loss just stopped.
