Rip golden dose😢. Just received today from mybmi. 7.5. expiry 03/27.
Unless I'm mistaken. I've posted a picture below.
I don't mind as I will continue on 5mg.. between myself and my wife we have 3 month's supply built up. She ordered a12.5 yesterday. So hopefully that will be an old style.
I also take mine every 9 days. So stretching extra doses that way.
I’ve just done my consultation and waiting for it to be reviewed. I have been putting this off for so long but constantly thinking about it at the same time and after finding this page and seeing all the support I thought just do it. My mom has been on it for about a year now and has lost around 4 stone. She’s looks amazing and her overall health is great. I havnt told a soul I am doing this though. Anytime I mentioned it to anyone I was told “you don’t need it” etc, but I’ve been with an online coach for a couple of months now, I do 5 days of weight lifting and some cardio in the gym but the weight just isn’t shifting for me and I’ve lost weight on my own before so now I realise I need some extra help and that’s ok. I also have endometriosis and I’ve read some great success stories with mounjaro and reducing the inflammation caused by Endo. Rambling at this stage lol fingers crossed I don’t get rejected 🤞
Hi, I am on week 5 of my journey so early days (4 weeks 2.5, 1week 5mg). I've been reflecting over the last 5 weeks and when I think about it, I've had nausea pretty much every single day since starting. Some days it's pretty mild or just a short bout, other days it's intense and makes eating hard. I also experience frequent loose stools.
I am back with my GP in a fortnight and will speak to him then. On my first appointment, he did say if I could ride out the initial side effects for the first few weeks, they will settle down. So I guess what I'm wondering is, will this nausea (or at least frequency) settle down? Weight loss is pretty steady at 12.5lbs over the 5 weeks but I just can't imagine feeling like this for the foreseeable.
Anyone have any guidance on using Mckeevers for mounjaro delivery to ROI?
On the price comparison website its the cheapest but it says something about added vat at 23%.
Hello! Firstly I want to say, I felt some real shame about taking this medication at the beginning, but I found this group by accident when googling things and I just have to say, the positivity here is so refreshing. Seeing all your comments and posts has reframed my mindset, so thank you all!
I have been on 2.5mg for 2 months and this week is ordering week and I am stuck whether to go up or not. I am early 30s female, who struggled massively with weight loss before this, but so far I have lost just over a stone in 2 months. I have had nearly 0 side effects, I find that I can still have the odd takeaway or night out (I inject Monday mornings) and I am way more in tune with my body, I realize now that I often times was eating to eat and not because I was hungry. My appetite suppression is manageable, Im not struggling to finish meals in the sense I feel ill all the time, I just find I lose interest in eating because I feel fuller much quicker.
I had thought for sure I would go up to 5mg this order time, because for the last two weeks I thought I had plateaued, I was hormonal and bloated but having weighed myself yesterday I still lost weight. If I am still losing weight, still feel some suppresion and have 0 symptoms should I stay on 2.5mg? I asked the mybmi docs and they basically said to do whichever I liked.
Any advice would be great, I have no one irl to ask or talk about this with. Thank you!
Hi All,
Paid 370eur today, for my recent 7.5mg pen ( including pen £285 + delivery £10 + script 30eur ). Through weightlossinjections and mckeevers NI. - Ive been on this dose for about 4/5 months and dropping nicely about 2-3kg a month.
Is anyone getting cheaper or NI / UK that will deliver to parcel forwarder or NI pharmacy that will allow courier collection pickup ? - I see 'mybmi' is approx 343eur. - That i might use for next pen and get 40eur off first order.
UK online prices on 'monj. uk' are showing UK prices as low as 235eur for same pen. ( so frustrating!! ) - I tried some online UK pharmacy with delivery to a parcel forwarder in NI, but they would not deliver to a business address or others required me to provide proof of address / utility bill etc.. Which I don't have..
Im down south and would take over 8hrs (just driving) round trip to travel NI in person and approx 110eur fuel. The time and fuel cost, doesn't make traveling appealing or much saving.
Appreciate any input for anyone that's been able to source cheaper options?
Can I send it over as an email? Do I need to go in person and can they deliver it?
Any recommendations?
So after much mix deliberation and back and forth I have finally ordered my first month’s supply of mounjaro! I’m wondering what people’s experiences were when starting off? I’ll be starting on 2.5mg. My BMI is 30 and I want to lose about 2.5 stone. Should I expect any weight loss at this dosage? How soon can I move up to 5mg? Thanks!
Hi.
I'm currently on 5mg ordered at the end of April with mybmi.
I ordered a 7.5 on Sunday night. No word back yet..I let them know in comments I will be travelling on holidays next week. So early order. I'll chase it up if I don't hear anything by tomorrow.
Just wondering if anyone else experiencing delays lately
My gp has approved monjaro for me. I'm borderline with BMI of 29.4 but my bloods showed I have high cholesterol so she said to go ahead and try it.
But I'm so worried about the cost, she wants me to start by having a weight loss consult where the nurse shows me how to inject. This is 70 a session and I have to show up in person every month for it to weigh in. It's giving weight watchers vibes where you stand on the scales so it's freaked me out.
Im a solo mom, I feel so bad about spending at the best of times.
Should I stick with gp or you all have mentioned myBMI, I'd have to start from scratch with them wouldnt I, or could I get my gp to write a letter or something saying they approved it?
hey guys,
I got my 2.5mg and it’s time to reorder. as you know there are options there to buy 2 pens at once, I was thinking of buying 5mg +7.25mg as I want to micro dose and hopefully I can stay in the 2.5mg. They also giving option to get 2 x 10mg, 15mg etc. I chose out of curiosity 10 & 12.5 and it brought me to the payment page. Has anyone skip pen strength with MyBMI and it worked?
(Mod removes my last post so to clarify, formoline is an approved (and clinically tested) medical device in the EU, but I don’t know if it works. Does anyone have experience with it?)
I've been taking mounjaro for a couple of months now and been having great results, but it's getting way too expensive (€350 a month), and I keep getting ads for formoline.ie, has anyone tried it? Is it any good? Or are there any other cheap alternatives that work?
Hi all,
I’ve ordered a box of 100 GlucoRX 4mm 31g spare needles as I was unable to get a smaller pack. I forgot to order some syringes that are compatible with the needles to extract the golden dose and I am hesitant to pay again the high postage fees to order them separately as I am unsure for how much longer I’ll be getting the old style pen.
Would you recommend getting the syringes from Amazon and use the GlucoRX needles (I would not trust the needles from Amazon, but not sure if the syringes would also be unsafe?)
Is anyone selling any luer syringes or be interested in a swap?
Will my 4mm needle be long enough for extracting?
Many thanks!
Hi everyone just an update - I made a post the other day asking how long can you leave it before paying your invoice. I emailed ePharm NI and they got back to me to say that, on the invoice they send us, Payment Links are valid for 30 days from when you get them - so if anyone needs to delay their payment it’s safe to do so! (myBMI)
I’m finishing my first pen next week. The 2.5 has been fantastic. I’m down 9.2kg and thinking of staying on 2.5 for as long as it’s doing its thing. My question is in relation to my prescription. I’ve five months of 5mg on the script. I know my GP would reissue for 2.5 but would it be more cost effective to go with 5 and count clicks? (2.5 = £185 and 5 = £210)
Hi everyone !
I am always so excited when I get to read all of your victories on this thread, so I would like to share mine.
As of this morning, I am 12.4kg down. I started at almost 116kg and my CW is 103.4kg. Yay me !
I am so incredibly happy and feel so amazing. My energy is soaring and I am bouncing off the walls! I have also gotten word from friends and family; telling me that I look different. I feel like I look the same physically, when I look in the mirror but…my photos definitely are showing me the difference.
I moved up from 2.5mg to 5mg, immediately because I was looking to see how I would get on and see what the supposed “more severe suppression” would feel like. However, the suppression of the 5mg has been pretty much the same? Do you all think that it would make sense for me to go back down to 2.5mg ? Or just continue with 5mg? I am wondering if there is any point in putting that much of the substance into my body if it gives the same effect as the 2.5mg ?
Anyway, my goal right now is to just get under 100kg. It has been over 10 years since my weight has started with a 9 ! And I ain’t so far away now from this goal.
Every now and again, I see the newbies on here and it reminds me of myself, 6 weeks ago. I was super skeptical and scared. But now I am ever so grateful to myself for taking the leap of faith. I have had zero negative side effects and zero regrets. So to anyone who is on the edge- just do it !
Feel free to read my older posts to see where I started from and to see that I was also very unprepared about what would happen. But look where I have come…
Happy Monday everyone 🌟
Hi there!
Apologies if this is stated elsewhere, but just wondering what the standard delivery time would be for ordering through MyBMI? Just don't want to leave it too late to order and potentially be late with my next dose. I live in Dublin. Cheers!
Does anyone find the needles from here more painful? I bought some for extracting the golden dose and everytime I use them I find the needles hurt going in and make me bleed! Never have a problem with the needles that screw onto the pen that come from My BMI?!
Hi all, I have been thinking of starting mounjaro for a long time but have decided to finally bite the bullet. My self confidence is on the floor and my mental health is really suffering, and also ability to be a good mum to my young kids.
I’m finding the amount of information out there overwhelming and I just want to know if I would be better going through MyBMI or going through my GP (from a cost perspective). I like the idea of having the support of my GP but I am not sure if it would be way more expensive. Would really appreciate any input. Thanks!
has anyone seen the new pens that don't contain the golden dose - im wondering is their batch numbers that we could look at before purchasing to see if they are old stock or new stock. Thanks
