I’m going to try to get pregnant, and need to wean off zepbound beforehand.

My doctor and I came up with a plan. I was on 12.5mg, and weaning down to 7.5mg for one month, down to 2.5mg for one month, and then wait one week before conceiving is the plan we came up with.

I am scared to go off Zepbound. I’ve been on 7.5mg for two weeks, and I already miss the 12.5mg. I haven’t gained any weight yet. I have been more aggressively counting my calories. I do find myself thinking about food more often already, even when I’m not hungry.

It’s been worth it to be on Zepbound. I’ve developed much healthier eating habits than before. I think my body is much healthier to carry a child. I lost over 100lbs, and couldn’t have done that without the help of the Rx.

My doctor reassured me that it’s normal and expected to gain some weight when pregnant, but still causes me anxiety. I’m confident she will help me get back on to Zepbound once I’m eligible again.

I already have anxiety about becoming pregnant, and starting this journey to parenthood. but I am going to miss Zepbound as well.

I’ve heard people that say “I’ve heard you gain all the weight when you go off of it, so what’s the point?” “you gotta take it forever” I have had an amazing experience on zepbound and am going to miss it. but I have a good reason to pause using it.
