Hey everyone,

looking for a bit of input on how you usually handle short trips around your injection schedule.

My usual dose time is Wednesday evening. I’m heading out on a quick trip and will be coming back Thursday evening.

I’m debating whether it’s worth the hassle of packing my pen, travel pouch/ice pack, and dealing with temperature control for just ~24 hours, or if I should just delay my shot until Thursday evening when I get back home.

A couple of questions for those who’ve been in a similar spot:

Travel vs. Delay: Do you bother traveling with your pen for a 1-day delay, or is taking it 24 hours late fine in your experience?

Schedule shift: If I take it Thursday evening, should I just permanently switch my shot day to Thursdays going forward, or shift back to Wednesday the following week?

Would love to hear how you all handle short travel windows like this! Thanks!

Travelling to SEA later this month and looking for some practical advice from people who’ve travelled with Mounjaro.

By then I’ll be on my 5th dose of 5 mg. I’m debating whether to just take a 5 mg pen and use the “golden dose” there, since it can apparently stay unrefrigerated for up to 21 days, or get a 15 mg pen and carry it in a cooling pouch. Although I would prefer skipping a dose all together.

Also, when flying, do you guys keep the pen + needles in carry-on or check them in? Any issues with airport security/customs in SEA?

Would love to hear what’s worked for others.

I know this might be a long shot but has anyone from Guwahati managed to get a prescription, I live abroad now and the only time I can physically visit a doctor is in Guwahati for a day. I am hoping to get prescriptions for the oral pills as my main goal is to suppress appetite as I exercise fairly regularly one or twice a week.

Hi everyone, I’m 28F with PCOS and BMI around 35, and I’m currently on semaglutide under my endocrinologist’s supervision.

I’ve completed 4 weeks now:

Weeks 1 and 2: 0.25 mg

Week 3: 0.5 mg

Today: 0.5 mg (second 0.5 mg dose)

My doctor plans to increase the dose after this, rather than giving me the originally planned 3 doses of 0.5 mg.

My concern is that I haven't lost even 1 kg or noticed any inch loss, and I don't feel any meaningful hunger suppression. My appetite feels pretty much the same as before.

The only noticeable side effects are usually on the first day after the injection, some nausea/vomiting, but it's manageable with the medication my doctor prescribed. I also get some mild pain/soreness around the injection site on my stomach for a while after the injection. Is that normal?

I know 4 weeks is still early and that 0.25 mg is only a starting dose, but I'm getting worried because I'm not feeling any noticeable effect on appetite or weight.

For people who have been on semaglutide:

Did anyone have almost no appetite suppression or weight loss during the first month?

When did you personally start noticing a meaningful difference?

Did things change significantly when you went from 0.5 mg to higher doses?

Is mild injection-site pain normal?

If you weren't responding initially, what did your doctor do next?

Anything I might be missing?

Would really appreciate experiences, especially from people with PCOS or similar starting weights.
