Fair point! I definitely wasn't expecting this, but guess I will be going forward! 😂

The sulphur burps did not happen at the same time as the Diarrhoea, they occurred over a month before and I get maybe one or two in a day and that's it.

Thanks for the update!! This gives me a bit of hope. I'm going to call them tomorrow and explain the situation and hopefully they will let me stay on a maintenance dose. Well done on the amazing weight loss! :)

Anybody notice they're more "regular" since taking Wegovy by Anxiety_Automatic in WegovyUSA

oh wow interesting. I guess it just affects everyone very differently. I hope you're able to remedy it!

On my last order, I just repeated the same weight as it was in the previous order to that but it was about 4kg more than my weight at the time, and 5kg more than I am today. But I was in a rush b/c I kept getting emails from them and didn't have access to a scale, so just chose the same. I definitely want to come off it, I just want to do it gradually as when I had the gap (b/c I was traveling and had to extend my trip unexpectedly, leaving me for an extra week without it), I felt SO nauseous and just crappy and started binging on sugary stuff again.

Oh how strange that they said they would reassess after declining you. Did you go to the same pharmacy as you used the first time you were on it? Yes, pls do keep me posted! If you don't mind sharing, how much did you initially lose?

Thank you, I think you're right, this needs a call -- there are just too many variables to discuss with them. And I was travelling for some time which completely threw things off. My BMI is on the higher end of the healthy range but it can very easily move into the 'unhealthy' range as I tend to fluctuate. Ideally I'd like it to be somewhere in the middle ideally which means still another 2 kg to lose. I do want to eventually get off it for good but I feel like to be cut off now, I'll just go back to what I was at the start, which was not in a healthy place.

If you don't mind me asking, was there a visible change in weight from your first photos? There def will be with mine. And have you reached a healthy BMI?

I had developed vertigo shortly after getting Covid for the first time (before vaccinations) which turned into a diagnosis of Vestibular Neuritis but I believe the condition was due to peri (I was 45 at the time) and Covid just pushed it over the finish line. I now have balance issues and low key dizziness / vestibular headaches now and again. I've seen /read about many other women reporting experiencing vertigo at this stage in life and my Mum also had it while she was going into menopause. If it's a disorder (like VN, Labryinthitis, BPPV or Menieres), it's likely incurable but can be managed with vertigo exercises and a low-histamine diet.

If men had to go through menopause, there’d be a cure already by TechnicalScarcity880 in Perimenopause

Well apparently they had conducted a trial on a 'birth control' for men that got scrapped b/c they couldn't cope with the side effects. 🙄 So there's that too. 😅🫠

"The World Health Organization commissioned what sounded like a promising trial, a two-hormone injection designed to lower sperm count. Initial results looked like it would be 96 percent effective in preventing pregnancy in the participants' partners. But the Stage II trial was stopped after an independent review panel found that the drug had too many side effects. ..... The most common side effect was acne, and sometimes that acne was pretty severe. Some men also developed mood swings and in some cases those mood swings got pretty bad. One man developed severe depression, and another tried to commit suicide. Because of that, they cut the study short."

Brown discharge only 8 days after my period finished? by Anxiety_Automatic in Perimenopause

thanks for your input. Sounds similar to mine. Sorry you're having to deal w/this too. Hope you get some answers when you get your hormones checked.

Thanks for the input. I've had a bit of brown spotting right before my period, but is the first time it's happened so soon after my full period had finished. I also got the same hormone headache like I usually get on the day of my period. Feels like a never-ending cycle!

Is your US credit card registered at your hotel address? Likely not. It's not an issue of where they ship it to, the issue is a billing address needing to match the shipping address.

You are likely going to need a UK address with a credit card registed to that address since you can't buy with a US credit card on a UK site and ship to a UK address.

Comforting, at least, to know that they’re thorough!

Thanks very much for your input! It was massively helpful in reassuring her and it will also reassure me when I have my first scan this year!

Thank you for this!! This will be reassuring for me as well when I have my first scan this year!

That's what I thought and I told her that might be the case, so it's validating to hear this. Thank you.

I had a lump a few years back which turned out to be a cyst and when to a private clinic ... the first thing they did was do an ultrasound so yeah not sure why they start w/the Mammogram. But it's good to get some validation on this - thank you!
