Pregnant after weight loss?!

I'm still in shock, but I'm pregnant! Dropped 90+ pounds thanks to Rybelsus, and now baby #2 is on the way. It's a life-changer for sure.
 
Massive congrats! This gives me some hope. I started Ozempic mainly to help with fertility due to my PCOS. Did you stop the meds before trying to conceive? I'm nervous about gaining the weight back while trying and messing up my ovulation again.
 
Thanks! I never realized how much being overweight impacted my ability to get pregnant. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and delivery!
 
That’s fantastic! Congratulations!

I'm also using Mounjaro to help with fertility.

My husband's sperm analysis results came back after I started Mounjaro, and it turns out improving my fertility may not be enough. He's scheduling an appointment to discuss it.

I stopped as soon as I got a positive test. The doc said to stop immediately. Keeping the weight off is a struggle, I won't lie, but so far so good!
 
There are several reasons this could be happening:

  • 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.

That sucks! Good luck to him at his appointment. It's good that you're tackling both sides of the equation.
