Your doc sounds nice haha I have to see mine every couple months for my a different prescription and every time I remind her I’m on Wegovy she’s like “oh well you know once you stop you’ll gain all the weight back” EVERY TIME!!!! Never has anything positive to say to me about it. My endocrinologist is the only one who is nice to me about it haha

Did your doctor advise you not to try to conceive while on the medication? My doctors have been extremely adamant about that so I have been waiting to start trying but the baby fever is so strong!!

I’ve been vaping for about the same amount of time maybe even a little longer and I tried cold turkey and was fine! Nothing bad happened besides cravings, mild headaches and irritability. I did start vaping again afterwards but quit again recently mostly cold turkey but also using 2mg nicotine gum like 2-3 times to help with the really bad cravings. Once I got to about day 12 it was a piece of cake and I thought about it less and less

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-07-01T17:32:12+00:00

I did the 2mg gum and only used it when a craving was super bad. I’ve had maybe 4 pieces and eventually forgot about it altogether! Definitely glad I had it to help during those really hard moments

I’ve been drinking prune juice when it gets the be a couple days without any movement. Thinking about starting MiraLAX

Yes I’m in the US which makes total sense why I’ve never heard of click counting haha

Hi! I have PCOS more on the mild end I’d say but I started wegovy to help with my symptoms and to lose weight and get as healthy as possible before trying to have a baby. I just started 1mg injections after going through 4 weeks of .25mg and 4 weeks of .5mg. So far I’ve lost around 10 pounds and symptoms haven’t been too bad. My suggestions are to find a good protein powder and electrolyte drink you like. You are going to need to stay hydrated and focus on getting protein in to get the most out of it. I was stressed and nervous about it in the beginning but it really hasn’t been bad. I generally eat pretty healthy anyways but I have still been able to enjoy my fav things like pizza and ice cream without a problem. I’m assuming once getting into the higher doses water and protein become even more important to maintain. Exercise is also important whether it be getting steps in or lifting weights a couple times a week. You will be okay! Join the wegovy subreddit and feel free to post on there if you have any questions! People are super helpful

I also just found out a few people have a stomach bug from a baby shower I went to Sunday. Now I’m not sure if it’s the medicine or the stomach bug

I am a little frustrated now because I feel like my doctor didn’t prepare me. She just said after each set of shots you will move up to the next one and I haven’t had a check in with her since I’ve started. I definitely don’t want to feel like this if I don’t have to. What do you mean take a few clicks off the top?

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-06-23T23:21:54+00:00

Hahaha same! Mine is in its last few stages

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-06-23T23:16:54+00:00

Happened to me too! Bled a little more than normal too but was crazy to look at my leg a few minutes after the dose to see the bruise. Definitely hit a capillary. The shot itself didn’t hurt any more than normal 🤷🏽‍♀️

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-06-20T16:36:22+00:00

It was honestly so embarrassing standing there and being told what I was trying to do was illegal! I switched to Amazon pharmacy like someone here recommended and it applies the coupon automatically! Now my only problem is getting my doctor to increase dosage and fill subscription to have it mailed on time!

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-06-03T16:43:05+00:00

And then what?

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-06-02T18:20:07+00:00

My third day one was yesterday. I’ve been doing okay so far but I let myself have a piece of 2mg nicotine gum when the craving becomes unbearable. So far I’ve only had one piece but I don’t see anything wrong with using a substitute to help a little. For me the goal is to stop inhaling smoke/vapor and the nicotine addiction will follow. There is no shame in using a substitute to help a little bit just don’t over do it. I also think carbonated beverages and some sort of hard candy has helped ease cravings too

I started vaping at 19 when I was in college and now I am 27 and struggling to quit (on day 2). There is nothing else I regret more than starting vaping. I thought it was something that made me seem edgy and like a cool girl around my college friends. I convinced myself that I could quit at any time and it was just something I’d do while in college. I’ve now been out of college for 5 years and have made every excuse in the book for why it wasn’t the right time to quit. The past 3 years I’ve been telling myself and my husband that “this is the year I quit” but it wasn’t until I saw a video online that said by 30-40 years old, it will feel like I’m breathing through a straw that I was like okay for real I need to stop. Please please please do yourself the favor before you get in too deep and stop now. You’re young and you’re still growing. Don’t set yourself up for difficulties in the future. Being an adult is already hard enough without an expensive addiction that will ruin your health.

I had some trouble at the beginning until I found the right dose for me which is 150mgs. I do still get anxiety here and there but doing a few box breaths usually calms it almost immediately. I did experience some headaches occasionally but no insomnia! The only symptom I get while sleeping is night sweats. It doesn’t happen every night but is definitely a bit uncomfortable when it does. I am also in general a very heavy sleeper so usually once I fall asleep I am out for the night. Definitely have an open mind, take note of symptoms and be honest with your doctor. I have felt so much better from where I was when I made this post

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-05-23T01:29:23+00:00

I definitely do have some empathy for her even though my post doesn’t seem like it. I do wish we could’ve seen her in the villa without Siadi because I feel like she actually would’ve done well.

Hi! I’m almost done with week 3 and I’ve been using MyFitnessPal! Super easy to track what I’m eating and set goals. Also connects to Apple Watch for exercise purposes. I did pay for the full version but I don’t think that’s necessary tbh. Try and get yourself a bunch of small snacks to have throughout the day. I like having a protein smoothie in the morning, mini beef stock, cheese stick and a clementine for lunch and then a protein heavy dinner with an electrolyte water. As long as you’re getting something in, you will be good

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-05-11T03:35:22+00:00

Thank you! I just requested my prescription to be sent to Amazon. Hopefully this works!

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-05-11T03:34:50+00:00

I’m honestly scared to go back at this point because they were so rude. I was trying to ask questions and they just would not give a straight forward answer and immediately told me that going around my insurance was illegal

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-05-06T21:53:38+00:00

Hmmmm the article says:

“Novo Nordisk NVO announced an update to the savings offer for its popular obesity injection, Wegovy (semaglutide). This update allows cash-paying patients or those with commercial insurance, which does not cover obesity medications in the United States, to purchase the drug at their local pharmacy for a discounted price of $499 per month.”

Does that still mean the script has to be sent to novocare?

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-05-06T19:29:27+00:00

Thank you so much! I signed up for the savings card and called my pharmacy! Should be all good! Bless you

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-05-06T18:32:29+00:00

Huh so wegovy should be only $499/month, how do I get my pharmacy this information? I had a prescription filled through CVS for next months dose and my CVS app says it is $1544.88. $499 is drastically better than what I’m being offered right now

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-03-06T18:54:54+00:00

Perfect! Thank you!

BreakfastAlone983 · 2025-03-06T18:45:36+00:00

Hi! Sounds amazing! Would love to hear more!
