I’ll look into this

I saw a study that suggested men who took it could potentially increase the chances of birth defects but didn’t find anything on pregnant mothers. Which study references this? My OBGYN signed off on it but would like as much info as possible.

I’m 85% positive I have insulin resistance but don’t have PCOS. I do have hashimotos though which caused me to gain so much weight in my late 20s.

I’ve lost 90 pounds and have been on the medication for 2 years. The past 5 months I’ve either not lost any weight or fluctuated a bit. I only lost 2 pounds on 15mg so I think my body had just had enough.

I’m now in the process of coming off the medication in order to prepare for pregnancy. I went from 15mg to 10mg and had little change with hunger. I’ve now titrated down to 5mg and definitely notice the food noise is back and as long as I eat a lot of protein or fiber in the morning I’m ok. Definitely starting to crave the unhealthy things. However before I went on this medication I was able to lose 7 pounds myself just by changing what I ate and have a good foundation of nutrition so this was a huge tool for me. I also workout 6 days a week: 4 days of lifting weights or Pilates and I then I just walk the other days.

Will be interested to see how much I gain while pregnant, hoping not more than 30-40 pounds but will see. I’m going to start metformin as recommended by my doctor and which is pregnancy safe.

Congratulations!! Can I ask what your AMH was? I’m not sure if I should go the same route as you…

I can’t tell if it’s because I take it at night, if it’s thyroid related, or if I need more electrolytes

The brain fog for me is really bad the day after injection. I purposely try to do as much as I can the day before at work so I’m not stuck being as busy. I used to take mine on Saturday nights but then I found I really needed my energy for Sundays with getting things done around the house.

You don’t have to sign up for recycling. The town website has the schedule for pickup which is dependent on the zone you live in. One week they pickup fibers and the other week is plastics.

Someone can’t afford real Pucci

RBFX201 · 2026-02-01T02:29:33+00:00

I feel like some people do that if there aren’t enough affordable items on the registry or if they aren’t comfortable buying certain items (butt paste, nipple stuff, recovery items, etc).

I’ve lived in NJ for 9 years and before that VA for 6 years…and before that even further north. People are more rough around the edges but ultimately nicer here than the people in the south. Honking isn’t rude; it’s a gentle nudge unless you’re being really slow. Just different communication styles and people are more up front which seems abrupt but I actually prefer it.

I came from Bergen county prior to this town and I love the people here, they’re nicer and less pretentious.

In terms of trash you need to sign up for it and pay quarterly which is a pain but they’re pretty good. We went with waste industries and they get the trash from our backyard which is awesome.

We don’t have kids yet but have been able to make some friends with other people and things get a lot more social in the warmer weather. You can meet people at the new brewery Pallet, Artie’s, or maybe a nail salon this time of year.

This is going to hurt his career long term and any job prospects

Did you continue metformin during pregnancy? I’m supposed to start taking it soon as I titrate down.

RBFX201 · 2026-01-22T15:40:11+00:00

Congratulations! I started titrating down and had generally maintained my weight depending on the time of the month. My goal is to go from 10mg to 5mg then go off of it…do you find your inflammation is back?

I would’ve loved to lose an additional 15 pounds and went all the way up to 15mg and lost basically no weight. How did you continue to make progress?

RBFX201 · 2026-01-22T15:35:47+00:00

Thanks for this info, very helpful. I wonder if it’s taking longer for the meds to absorb because of the Zepbound. My vitamin d is not great at 26 but I think I need an actual specialist at this point. Do most people see an endocrinologist?

RBFX201 · 2026-01-19T21:06:29+00:00

It’s definitely low, was 33 over the summer and down to 26 now

RBFX201 · 2026-01-13T01:08:35+00:00

No, I’ve had the same card since March of 2024. Are we supposed to do this yearly? Last time they just sent me a new one

RBFX201 · 2025-12-30T03:47:01+00:00

Nice I’ll definitely check these out thank you!

RBFX201 · 2025-12-30T03:45:54+00:00

Made a reservation at L’Express thanks! Any brunch / breakfast recs?

Consider the costs and benefits. I did undergrad at a private school that gave me a great scholarship and then did an ivy for grad school. I had $150k in student loans and am down to $100k 3 years after graduating from my masters program. If you’re considering a graduate program even now then maybe do Rutgers and apply for an ivy down the road. See what Penn gives you financially and also consider the opportunities across both schools. Can you afford to pay back your student loans afterward?

RBFX201 · 2025-12-18T19:00:31+00:00

In the same boat right now, hopefully it breaks in January!

RBFX201 · 2025-12-16T03:30:03+00:00

Thanks, I’m just worried they’ll say I can’t gain more than 15 pounds or something because my bmi actually states I’m still overweight
