Move up or stay? (4mg -9mg OralWegovy)

Ill keep it brief lol.

Tried to do 2months on1.5mg. Ended up moving up as it tapered off about 10days into 2nd month felt nothing at all.

I'm now on 2nd month of 4mg. And 15days in to that, and again it's tapering off so bad guys. I feel ravenous around 5pm. And it's taking everything in me not to eat everything in sight. Like really serious hunger I can't even explain lol.

But I'm nervous about moving to 9mg. It's not super sustainable for me because of pricing. And the kicker is I'm not losing weight. I haven't been for weeks. Should I just buy the 9mg? I really hoped this would work more for me by now but yeah. Id promised myself 6months on the tablets to see how I get on.

That time limit is coming very soon 👀

I'm extremely nervous to move to 9mg as seeing alot of horror stories of people's move to 9mg. And I am tolerating 4mg well enough.

Has anyone done 2 tablets of the 4mg? To help get ready to move up to 9mg?

Sorry if that's a dumb question 😭

I'm a noob and one of my fish has given birth!

Hey guys!

I am a new tank owner. I have a tropical tank consisting of tetras, a catfish and 2 platys. One Micky mouse platy and the other is yellow twin bar platy.

I was told all were males when purchasing ofc.

My orange Micky mouse was looking very plump! I noticed that their belly was getting bigger and bigger and I was like dayum. Calm down on the food greedy bones! Lol. Then a day or two ago I thought oh, their belly seems to have calmed down. That's a good sign?

Well!

Yesterday my mother was visiting from out of town and she was like "there's little babies in there" and I was like lol "no there isnt mum they are all male. So that's not possible."

Today I go to do my water change and what do I see? BABIES! I have only managed to see 3 of them so far. Tho I have been led to believe by Google that platy fry are exceptional at hiding themselves.

WHAT DO I DO NOW?!

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO FOR THESE LITTLE GUYS. THEY ARE LIKE THE SIZE OF PINHEADS!

ANY ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

4mg every other day, what do you really mean?

Lots of people saying they do every other day, I'm scared of the 4mg lol. I'm on 2nd month of 1.5mg. it's starting to lessen for me.

However the past week something's went weird. Every day for like 2hrs I'm having the most insane stomach cramps and diarrhea. And I'm not talking little levels. I'm talking drop you to your knees type pain and EXPLOSIVE BM. 😬🙃 lol insane. Prior to this week I've had nothing of the sort. Been ridiculously constipated.

I'm on day 45 of 1.5mg, but I've lost very little weight. 3lbs....which tbh. You'd think with all the poop id be dropping. No. I'm maintaining it's so weird!

Should I try the 4mg every other day? And what do you mean by that? Do a day, miss a day? Lol sorry for such a dumb question 😭

3mg advice?

Hey! I decided to do a 2nd month of 1.5mg cos I got scared of the 4mg lol which I have sitting in my bedside drawer. But now I'm regretting it. Seen some posts of people saying they did 3mg to finish their 2nd box so moving to 4mg was easier. And would like to do the same.

My question is so you take 1 wait 30mins then take another yknow cos of absorption? Or take 2 at the same time?

Has anyone been on 1.5mg for longer than a month? (I'm a newbie)

Hey!!

I'm on day 29 of the 1.5mg. I had bought another 1.5mg and I have a 4mg box it was part of a bundle deal (UK based).

I've not had dazzling results from 1.5mg but I'm also not starving or anything either. I'm having minor side effects but minimal weightloss also though I feel I could easily eat one meal and day and not be bothered. I could also choose to overeat if I wanted to... I don't want to waste the extra 1.5mg box I have. So I'm gonna do the 2nd box of 1.5mg. Has anyone stayed on 1.5mg for longer and seen results from that?

**Check in- Day 21** How are we doing ladies and gents?

Day 21 - haven't lost any more weight since update day 9 of 3lbs.

I am gaining and losing that 4th lb over and over. I am still feeling restless in bed at night and struggling with heartburn and headaches lol. However! In the last few days...

I have lost all desire for sweet treats and snacks. I can easily eat OMAD and not care and feel satisfied right through to next day.

Oh and last 2 days been struggling with nasty stomach cramps and diarrhea 💀 but it is manageable!

I have the step up 4mg in the drawer ready to go. But I am considering doing another month of 1.5mg, or doing the one day on, one day off rota with the 4mg which I've seen people doing on the USA threads... not sure yet...

**Rundown - TLDR**

Heartburn - 7/10 Rampant still - going through gaviscon like water.

Headaches - 3/10 manageable.

Weightloss - minimal 3/10 but expecting more now since I'm feeling the real effect of fullness the last couple days.

Mindset - Optimistic ✨

How is everyone else getting on?

* Check in* Day 8! 1.5mg How are we getting on ladies and gentlemen?

Okay so it's day 8 for me. Update day 9 and I am actually 3lbs down** I am 2lbs down and I'm happy with that.

My food noise is defo down but not gone.

I am having some nausea and headachey but nothing just gaviscon and ibuprofen isn't handling oddly enough lol.

I have also been feeling slightly restless and struggling to sleep. It's not unmanageable but frustrating a little. Other than that. All is going well. I am eating much less and no tummy grumbles whatsoever which normally you can heat from across the room when I'm hungry lol.

I am keen to see how the month progresses for me.

How is everyone else getting on?

Very curious about others experiences!

They are here! Is anyone else trying the pills? Or have already?

Welp, I struggled terribly with the jabs cos of my anxiety disorder. So I went on the waitlist for the pills! They arrived today! ( Was supposed to be yesterday but got held up in post.) No problem since no temp control to worry about anymore!

Will see how I get on and possibly update if anyone is interested of course.

Anyone else trying the pills?!

❤️

✨UPDATE 1✨ It is 4.50am and I woke up to pee so I took the first dose and am going back to bed. Omg ladies Nd gentleman. I thought 120ml of water to take it would be easy. It would be if the pill didn't taste so awful 😂😂 Still 10x quicker than setting up to do a jab tho! But get ready for the taste it's horrendous haha!

Is anyone out there jabbin arm?

Hello!

Just wondering if anyone has jabbed the arm instead of belly or thigh? Idk why but doing it anywhere else feels so wrong to me and I can't do it. My stomach is absolutely covered in stretchmarks and I've seen some mixed reviews about injecting on around or near those. Leg feels alien to me aswell, I dunno why. Arm just feels right? Lol

Anyone else?

Is there any companies out there doing a starter box like juniper with the freebies etc? Good experiences with Juniper?

Hello! I haven't used juniper as they've never been the cheapest on the igovy site you know what I mean haha, but I really do like the boxes they send out with the scales and care packet etc. Is there any other companies doing that like with the freebies? Or is it just juniper? I might use them just to have the freebie scales etc! What's your experience with them if you used them?
