r/PCOSglp1

I have tried everything and decided to finally go on wegovy. I am nervous but looking forward to it!! what are things you wish people told you?

Recently had a private blood test confirming I have insulin resistance. I have an appointment to discuss this with my gp. Now its been confirmed and im already doing the diet and exercise recommended for it iv decided to see if wegovy or monjaro will help.

Should I wait until I see my gp before getting it or just start now?

I have to wait 3 weeks for the appointment, and as I'm UK based There is no chance I will get it on nhs in my area as they don't offer it.

Hi everyone,

Ive been diagnosed with pmos/pcos for over 10 years and Ive been struggling a lot with my weight as most of us do. Ive been wondering what glp-1s ppl have tried and what's been working and what hasn't been working for you.

Ive been on ozempic and metformin and neither of those worked, and i was hoping to ask my doctor for something else to try but I wanted to find out a bit more what's helped with others

I’ve been deep in the binge cycle for a year and a half now. The last few months have been pretty bad and I regained a lot of the weight I lost a couple of months ago. I have PMOS but I feel most of my symptoms (fatigue, weight gain, skin changes, excess hair) stem from my binging. I went to the Drs today to tell my Dr about it in the hopes that I would be referred to a psychologist or something to tackle this from the root. Instead she immediately offered me the Wegovy injection which was something I hadn’t really thought about prior to the appointment, mainly because I didn’t consider it an option 😭 I brought up feeling really anxious lately but she kept going on about the Wegovy. Obviously it was my choice and I didn’t feel pressured to say yes but I was just nervous especially with there being so much discourse about GLP-1s. Anyway, I eventually got it and am just deciding what to do. I’m pretty desperate to get better and start living a healthier life but I was also hoping to do it all the “natural” way. Has anyone been in a similar situation? 🤎
