Got off Zepbound TTC and feel awful
I got off Zepbound a little over a month ago to TTC.
The first couple of weeks were fine. I thought: yay! maybe I don’t need this medication and can save some coins… maybe my PCOS is reversed.
I know that’s delusional. I’m aware of the science. But I just felt so good!
THEN:
Week 2 I was expecting to ovulate… but was a few days late after a year of regular cycles. This of course made timing difficult and we ended up missing the best window.
By week 4, I felt awful. Full on monster luteal phase unsupported by Zepbound. I could FEEL that the medicine was washed out of my body. Crazy hunger. I felt like a blackhole bottomless pit. Craving sugar? Inflammed especially in my lower abdomen. Genuinely so bloated I could not breathe well.
And the cruelest of it all… I felt slight nausea. Which I now realize was hunger signals that my brain was not processing as hunger. Because the nausea would go away after I ate.
Anyway, I have now confirmed I’m not pregnant. I miss Zepbound so much and going to ask my doctor if I can stay on until I confirm pregnancy. It’s simply too hard to TTC with an irregular cycle.
