I mostly agree with what's been said. I don't blast the plunger down, especially with tiny syringes. Syringes come in 0.3ml, 0.5ml, and 1ml sizes. It's easier to measure accurately with a 0.3 or 0.5ml syringe than a 1ml one.

Don't be! Progress is progress, even if it's not as fast as you'd like. Focus on the positive health benefits, not just the number on the scale.

Excellent work. Noticeable face gains.

Congrats on the weight loss!

Cheers to your better health!

If a stranger is that rude, "Mind your own business" is a perfectly acceptable response.

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.

You look wonderful - congrats! Hope you feel as good as you look. xx

That's an incredible achievement! Well done!

Absolutely a whole person gone! Congratulations on your journey!

Impressive results!

I've seen some reports of insomnia with Reta because of the glucagon component. Something to consider.

That sounds like allodynia. Just search that term plus "GLP-1" online and you'll find info. It's a pretty common side effect. I'm not a doctor, but from what I've read, it's usually not a big deal. I experience it too, mostly on my sides when I wear looser clothing. If my forearms brush against...

There are several reasons this could be happening: [LIST] Weight loss itself can improve fertility. Some GLP-1s can affect how your body absorbs oral contraceptives, potentially making them less effective. Losing weight lowers inflammation which is linked to improved fertility.

Congrats on the little one!

I agree with Seattle_Sleeper. Slow and steady gets it done. Play it safe. I only started at 2mg myself because I was switching from Semaglutide to reta. And even then, there are guides on how to do that properly here, which I sorta forgot about. I honestly could have used 1mg and seen the same...

Congrats! That's fantastic news.

Good point. I was dropping about 1-2 pounds a week on the 0.25mg, so maybe I should just see how it goes and not jump the gun. Thanks!

That's tough, but I've read that it's pretty common. Your brain needs time to catch up. One thing that might help is to track objective measurements, like waist size or body fat percentage. Seeing the numbers change can help reinforce the progress you've made, even if you don't see it in the...

Still have a ways to go, but progress is progress!! Just switched jobs and the benefits want me to start back at 0.25mg. I'd just moved up to 0.5mg last week, so not sure what to do.
