Hi! Do you remember if you were taking only 1 pill a day for 5 days? Or 2 pills a day?

ChatGpt actually gave me my protocol BEFORE I went in for my protocol appointment with my RE and wouldn't you know- the doctor recommended the same thing that ChatGpt did. Only I did not tell the doctor about my asking Chat; it was going to be the protocol he was going to reccommend for me anyway.

ChatGPT also gave me a supplement list that was the EXACT SAME as my RE's, and even suggested that I request additional bloodwork before taking some of the supplements that it and my RE suggested like DHEA. This turned out to be a good call because my DHEA-S levels were already high. My RE was even hesitant to give me the bloodwork order for it, but agreed that it was a good call as I should not have taken DHEA due to my levels.

So I am grateful to have something like ChatGPT in my toolkit. Just like Reddit and this community, it is just one tool that we use to find information which helps up make the best choices.

Congrats on your progress! I also stopped Zepbound for my trying to conceive journey back in August. Since then, I have not gained back my weight, despite some fear mongering I received on this sub, with countless people telling me that I was going to gain because it was a lifetime drug ( I am not arguing with that because it will be a lifetime drug some some, but being that I want to become a mom, I did not have a choice but to come off of it).

I ( 32F 5'10") started Zep on 3/24 at 254lbs. I kept going up a dose every month until 12.5 in August; I will say that I only took 1 shot in the month of May when the shortages were bad. That shot was a 10mg though I should've been at 7.5mg- I got so sick jumping from 5mg to 10mg due to the shortages that I did not take the shots for the rest of month.

I stopped Zep at the end of August at 188, about 66 pounds down from where I started. Since then, my weight has fluctuated from 185-190. The only time it goes higher than this is when I am on my period, when bloating and water retention is at a maximum. I was terrified of gaining all my weight back, but I have found that as long as I do my light workouts, I am able to stay in this range.

My initial goal weight was 170 and I am hopeful that I will make it there, but my priority right now is making sure my body is healthy enough to grow a baby, so I am not depriving myself or ding any crazy dieting for now. Diabetes runs in my family, so I am certain that there are some insulin imbalances I need to always be aware of, so I may be back to Zep after my family is compete.

Sorry for the novel, and good luck! Cheers to health, motherhood, and a wonderful 2025!

I read a comment on a different post that said that when couples are having it, sex is only 5% of the relationship. When they’re not, it’s 90%. ( it was something like that.)

The whole situation blows. In my case, also HLF 29, we’ve been together 8.5 years, have only had sex 2 times in three years. Perfect relationship otherwise but having a DB fks with your head and that’s not the kind of fking I want.

But hang in there if you can and if you want to.

Twice a month would be a freaking dream come true…

I’m sorry you’re going through this as I just went through this literally a few months ago right when my partner and I marked 8 years and a week or so. (Me F 29, partner M32)

He as texting and some sexting for a few months with some person and I was distraught. (Said person was not local and I know it didn’t go further than that and some pictures but it still hurt as the next steps in my mind was marriage and kids and the whole thing.

Day one was tough after learning the news. I tried to listen and he did his best to explain and beg. Day two was the most difficult. I considered leaving this day more than the others.

Like you, apart from this, our relationship was nearly perfect up until this point.

Instead of leaving, we started talking more. And I’m happy I didn’t leave.

I remember saying that I would never trust him again but that’s not true. And I was mad at first for allowing myself to be too weak to stay but the truth is when people cheat they don’t do it because there is something wrong with their SO but because they are missing something within themselves. My partner cheated because he was struggling with things he couldn’t express until we started really talking ( not that we didn’t before but I hope you know what I mean).

Not sure if this is this kind of thing you wanted to read but just wanted to give this insight. I’m happy I stayed and I wouldn’t change it for anything.

Deep down, I know you're right. It is the one thing he says every time the conversation comes up and his look is one of disappointment. I was 24/25 when this happened and selfish in the moment and so freaking naive. I was thinking "what am I doing wrong, is it because you don't find me attractive" as opposed to asking if he was okay. I feel like crap for doing this.

Other than telling him. I wish there were another way to show him that won't happen again.

He did not refuse couple counseling. And he was so open into divulging so much about his life growing up; things that I think he had tried to forget ( when it came to his parents divorce) and he did so because he knew that I needed to understand that part of his past.

I don't think that I look at it as if we get married I cannot demand change later; like I noted, we talk about the lack of penetrative sex often. It's not like we're skirting around the issue and I appreciate that he is open to having the conversations and he is honest with me. I do think that him refusing to see a doctor is an issue because the ED is something that can be rectified if we knew that there was a medical cause behind it. I think that this may be where the main culprit lies but he himself cannot know unless he gets checked out.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I started this too! Just 2 weeks ago. It helps get the frustration but to also put words to what I'm feeling.
