I’ve been on this medication for a couple of weeks. I have nothing to say except my A1C went from 5.7 pretty much pre diabetes down to 5.4 (I’ve been prediabetic priori a few years ago when I was put on metformin), went from 160+ days between periods to 35-40 days, I tested positive for ovulation today, I lost 7 kg in bit over a month (20 more kg to lose), my relationship with food completely changed, and I have a libido again, I used to suffer of dryness and recurring infections, intercourse with painful all the time. My skin went completely clear after a very aggressive acne and a cyst I needed surgery due it getting infected (I spent 2 weeks with an open wound in my face having the infection drained and taking antibiotics). It was near my ear and the infection was spreading towards the ear, so I had an emergency procedure.

I’ve never felt healthier and happier since I got diagnosed at 17, that was 10 years ago.

4 months post surgery, 7 weeks on tirzepatide (2.5mg) i am SHOOK and how painless and easy this menstrual cycle has been. this is crazy because im so used to being completely flat out and in agony every period, unable to move, i am genuinely so surprised but SO HAPPY.

(also, my acne has improved significantly on tirzepatide + from using azealic acid, and i've already gone back to my 'normal' looking self in terms of inflammation etc. its also a lot easier for me to bounce back from flares these days)

i have cramps today on my period but they are SO MINOR i imagine this is what it feels like for someone without endo?!

i just wanted to share the good news because it can be so consuming focusing on the negatives and things you want to improve, but i genuinely cant believe it.

if you've been thinking about GLP1 usage for similar issues, i'd really suggest doing your research and looking into it. i felt the inflammatory benefits instantly (for context i also have an undiagnosed insulin problem / possible PMOS so this affects my overall picture too, but this has worked miracles for me)

big love to everyone x

Services like Allara, PCOS Sisters.

If so, which are you using? What has been your experience? Are they prescribing your GLP-1? How much do they charge for refill scripts?
