has anyone here tried glp 1 medication for weight loss before iui?
Hey guys we have been TTC for about 9 years. I used to be a skinny woman at the start of my journey but now I've gained a lot of weight mainly due to cortisol and infertility-related depression. I've also been binge eating and unhealthy eating for a while now so thats also an issue. I was reading a couple of subs a while ago in the IVF space and I saw G͏LP mentioned where women were talking about going on GL͏Ps and stopping before treatment for weight loss for better results. So I was wondering if that is the case for IUI too. I am not a scientist or anything who understands medicine but I have read that losing weight can help improve ovarian function. I mentioned this to my doctor and she recomm͏ended a certain br͏and. But I have already taken way too many medicines throughout my journey and I have had really bad experiences with doctors recommending specific expe͏nsive brands. I have taken so many medications that I feel like my body and maybe my liver will not tolerate just anything at this point. I also looked it up on the internet and the reviews were pretty mixed so I am not sure how to go about it. If there is a proper way to research options before spending that kind of money. did some manual research and I also saw some resources mentioned. Listing them here PubMed, StatPearls, ClinicalTrials.gov, Drugs.com, MDPI Pharmaceutics and the ADA Standards of Care but would i be able to understand them, probably not.. So yeah I was wondering how people go about this or if you even recommend going on GLPs before IUI or should I just go ahead with IUI? It is expensive and I cannot really afford IVF so IUI is basically my only option. Sorry if this post is a mess.. I just wrote what came to my mind.
