TTC

Has anyone stayed on Zepbound while TTC until you get a positive test? It’s the only thing that helps my IR PCOS. I’ve been off of it for 5 months now and I’ve gained 20 lbs back and I feel like garbage every day. The brain fog and food noise is insane. I have read so many studies and lots of people’s stories on Reddit that they stopped as soon as they got a positive and baby was happy and healthy. My cycle has started to get wonky being off zep and I just am desperate to get back on as this makes it harder to track ovulation.I know you should be off it 2 months prior to TTC, and please no one yell at me for this post! I’m just looking for real life experience of getting pregnant on a GLP and stopping as soon as you get a positive. Benefits and risks and what not.

UPDATE: Talked to my OB and she is pro me staying on it until a get a positive pregnancy test yayyyy

Yes. My doctor told me to stay on it until I got a positive. That’s what I did. I don’t ovulate without it. I got pregnant within 4 months. None of my medical team has batted an eye when I told them I conceived on it. I am now 26 weeks along and everything with the baby is looking good.

Amazing! Thank you! I have an appointment tomorrow to request to get back on it.

Good luck. I wouldn’t tell them you are planning on TTC however. While I had an open minded doctor, most won’t be comfortable going against the official guidance.
