I'm thinking of doing it as well. My friend is on Semaglutide and is having great success on it. I'm looking into that as well. Like you after 13 years of IVF I've gained too much weight.

I took mounjaro for about 6 months 2022-2023, I tolerated it well and had excellent results. I lost close to 30 pounds. I would have nausea and diarrhea here and there but nothing life altering. I think I only went up to 7.5mgs before getting pregnant and stopping.

My psychologist encouraged me to try it for many of the reasons you referenced. At 40 and after 3 kids I was stalled. It definitely was great but I struggled when/how/what would happen when I went off. I didn’t want to be on it long term. The pregnancy gave me an out, I am still up 10 pounds from that low point and still 40 pounds more than I should be. I don’t know what I will do when I am done breastfeeding.

Anecdotally, my sister has tried many of them, they all make her ill to the point of needing Zofran and I don’t know that it would be worth it to me if that was the case. Plus the supply issues for some of them are insane. I have another friend that has been on one for a few years and is very happy. It is a bit addicting once you start to see the results. I am completely torn on the topic as you can tell. I think it is worth a try if you are curious but just be prepared for side effects, insurance leg work and supply issues as mentioned above.

And be aware that it may jump start your fertility, we were hoping for a 4th so everything worked out but the stress of getting pregnant while on a medication was hard.

@yellowbeach how are you feeling on it? My sister saw better results with Mounjaro over Wegovy so she switched once Zepbound came out and it was covered by insurance but now she can’t get it.
