I Want to Come Off GLP-1s Before Getting Pregnant: What Do I Need to Know?
Coming off GLP-1s before getting pregnant is not as simple as just stopping. Here is what to realistically expect.
In this episode:
What the clinical guidance says about when to stop GLP-1s before trying to conceive or starting fertility treatment
What to expect physically when you stop, including the truth about weight regain that nobody is preparing you for
How to take care of your body, your cycle, and your mental health through this transition
Weight regain after stopping GLP-1s is clinically expected and not your fault. Your body is not broken. It is doing exactly what the research says it will do, and you deserved to know that before you ever started taking this medication.
