Ozempic and later pregnancy

[workingonsteady54]

Been on a certain ozempic amount and stopped around when pregnancy began, so not quite the recommended two months off beforehand. Curious whether anyone who used ozempic prior to pregnancy also dealt with prolonged nausea afterward. Currently mid-pregnancy and still getting hit hard whenever blood sugar dips even slightly, even while staying within a totally normal range. Genuinely unsure what's actually driving this.

So glad you asked! I was on Ozempic and lost 50 pounds when an unplanned pregnancy happened. Started back up around 2 months postpartum once nursing stopped, and following twelve months with some continued progress but rougher sides, I made the switch to Mounjaro last October.

Took noticeably more effort this time around, juggling a toddler, a newborn, and an aging dog nearing the end of her life. But I still had plenty of weight left to lose, plus wanted to pull my A1c down out of the 6-range into the 5s.

Haven't personally run into this on ozempic, but would suggest considering whether pregnancy's even remotely possible, if that applies to you biologically, and maybe taking a test, since that's a genuinely common early pregnancy symptom.

I can actually get pregnant so I never looked into that side of things. Had no clue you weren't supposed to conceive on Ozempic. How's the pregnancy going for you? Does it look like you'll be able to carry it to term? How are you doing otherwise?
