I resisted going up to 10mg for so long. Mainly because of price etc. I took the leap 3 weeks ago and so glad I did! I’m type 2 diabetic, hypothyroidism, PCOS and going thru perimenopause and the 10mg is finally moving weight for me and I feel amazing! I finally feel like I’m doing something right. I don’t count calories but I concentrate on protein, hydration and good sleep. I just wanted to share for others, for so long my doctor tried to get me to move up - telling me some people just needed abit higher of a dose. I’m so glad I did. 🤩

Hello everyone 🥰 I’m having a tough time at the moment. I’m waiting for an appointment at my local women’s health and also having blood tests.
So I’m 44/female/history of PCOS/hypothyroidism/type 2 diabetes.
I’m medicated for the hypothyroidism, Mounjaro for diabetes and weightloss.
The last couple of years I’ve had a feeling I’m in perimenopause - bad periods/pms/brain fog etc.
The last couple of months have been extra bad though. My pms cramps take my breath away, I’m an emotional wreck, I’ve got pelvic pain/pressure, my anxiety is through the roof, I keep waking up at night and my diastolic bp has increased to between 80-100. Does this sound like perimenopause, my thyroid needing a medication adjustment? I’ve had a thyroid scan and all normal, pelvic scan and all normal except for cysts on each ovary. I just want to know I’m ok and not alone. I want to be my happy old self and enjoy life with hubby and the kids. Thankyou for reading ♥️

*im not asking for medical advice, just wondering if anyone has been thru similar.*
I have an appointment next week with my doctor.
I’m a female pretty sure I’m in perimenopause/pcos/type2 diabetic and I’m on 7.5mg Mounjaro. Been on it for 8/10 months I think. I usually take Metamucil every night. I haven’t for maybe 2 weeks. Anyhoo, I’ve now got lower abdominal discomfort/pain and a feeling I need to poop and it’s there but I can’t get it out. There’s some pressure. It hurts abit when I push urine out too. I’m assuming this is the dreaded constipation part of Mounjaro? and I shouldn’t have skipped my Metamucil. Has anyone else had similar? I’m going to my doctor next week.

Hi everyone :) I’m wanting to hear success stories from slow losers. I’ve been on Mounjaro for about 8 months. I’ve only officially lost about 10kg. I’m a 44 yr old female /type 2 diabetic with hypothyroidism. I’m on 7.5mg at the moment.
My doctor tells me to focus on protein and hydration and that’s what I do. I roughly track calories. I walk a lot, I’m starting strength training next week. Why is my weight loss so slow? I seem to loose abit then it stalls for weeks.. just looking for some inspiration ♥️ It’s so expensive to keep battling when I’m not seeing results like everyone else.

Hi :) I hope this is ok to post here. I’ve got something that I’ve never told anyone the full details and the older I get the more it bothers me and the more I realise what happened to me.

I’m a female, early 40’s. Grew up in a great family. As a kid I learnt musical instruments. I used to go to music lessons and my parents would sometimes stay or sometimes go as they trusted the lady that I had lessons with. She was a wonderful lady. Then once I got more competent I was allowed to join the full band. There was a mix of males/females older and younger. Most of them were great people, lots of families and I loved it. I was also very mature for my age.

There was a guy that initiated contact with me. I was around 13 when it first started. He was 25. He would write me letters, flirt with me etc. it was subtle at the start. He knew my age. I thought it was so cool that he was interested with me. It carried into him asking me to call him after school. I did. We used to speak for hours. He would tell me what he wanted to do with me (some was very sexual). He would talk dirty to me. By the time I was 14/15 I would stay home sick from school while my parents were at work and he would come over. We would heavy pet for hours and he once asked me for anal sex. I refused and nothing went further.
He would write pages of love letters, he told me he masterbated thinking of me after he got home. I kept all this a secret as my parents would have been horrified and gone straight to the police.

He used to come to my school swimming carnival and dive under the water while I was swimming. A teacher quizzed me about it and I said he was a friend. She told me to buy her a box of chocolates and she would forget about it.
I thought I was in love, this went on and off till I was 18. The week I turned 18 he came to see my parents with flowers and chocolates and we told them we were together as a couple. I was 18, he was 30… My parents hated it, tried everything to make me see sense. I stayed with this guy for another 2 years before I woke up to myself and left.
The older I get the more I think what the actual fuck. This guy groomed me, he sexually abused me. I feel so stupid and ashamed that I let him into my life as a young teen.
I don’t know what to say, but Thankyou for letting me get this off my chest. 🙏🏻♥️
