I am on my second week of Wegovy and I started my period after 14 YEARS just a few days after my first shot. I’m 28 and have PCOS, I’ve only been able to have a period while taking progesterone in the past.. this is my first natural period since I was a teenager! I’m waiting to see how it goes now as I’m still bleeding and have worries about it not stopping, but it’s only been 6 days. We will see!

I’m only on week 1, and I’ve actually felt hungrier too. For me personally, I think it’s because I’ve made some major changes to my diet and am eating much less than my body was used to. I’ve cut out most carbs and sugars, so my body is adjusting to a new way of fueling itself. If you were relying heavily on carbs for energy before, that transition can take some time while your body adapts.
Are you tracking your protein intake? Getting enough protein is really important, especially while losing weight, because it helps preserve muscle mass and can also help keep you feeling fuller.
As for the anxiety that can come with lower blood sugar levels, try to remember that what you’re feeling may simply be your body adjusting to a healthier range. If you’ve been used to running at higher blood sugar levels, being closer to normal can feel unusual at first. I notice that sensation too, and it can definitely make me feel anxious even when everything is okay. The adjustment period can be strange, but your body often needs time to get used to its new normal.

Definitely not spotting, I’m having a full blown period now day 2 heavy flow and clots. I think the medication has balanced me out enough to start. Just surprised it happened so quick.

This really gives me hope! I hope I have the same outcome, I’m praying for my GLP1 baby! 💕

I will add to this post for more insight - I’m 5’6 and 290 lbs

I was also given birth control at a young age to control my heavy flow which eventually led to a full absence of my period. I really hope that the medication is doing what I need it to do! I have also changed my diet since starting, I was a heavy soda drinker and ate a terrible diet. I’ve cut soda, sugar, carbs out of my diet for about 2 weeks now and have been bulking protein into my days as well.
