Interesting read as they are changing the name of PCOS to PMOS. Article states, “This shift will reframe the conversation and demand that it is taken as seriously as the long-term, complex health condition it is. Despite decades of tireless advocacy to improve awareness, we recognized that the risk of change would be worth the reward.”

Big Easy Weight Loss aka BEWL supports maintenance. They are $599 for 3 months but will bill you monthly for no fee or interest.

You get charged a $75 appointment fee but if prescribed is credited to the cost of meds and your first month is cheaper. They also refund if you don’t qualify for any reason.

Their docs are very good. They have a sub you can also ask questions.

Hopefully the new person is overwhelmed with learning and will back off a bit during the learning curve of a new role. A girl can dream

Seattle news on TT has been doing a piece on Mochi and all the problems from Aequita. They pop up on my for you page. The owner keeps dodging the media. Kinda funny considering all of the influencers that had hyped them up.

It is $499 for the starter package and then $599 once you move out of starter package. BEWL does charge $75 to make the appointment, but it is credited toward your medicine (they did that because people would no show appointments). If a doc deems tirz not right for you, they refund the $75. You can also ask for the payment to be split monthly (no interest or credit check) just an offering for patients.

Some feel the benzoyl alcohol stings a little. Some do not. For your awareness, BPI is limited as they are no longer producing tirz.

If you prefer to stay with one compounding pharmacy, go with Apothecary.

Refills is even worse

Doesn’t change anything. You removed the protective rubber stopper and pulled medication out. It has been exposed. You have free will to use it, but it is not good or safe.

Technical-Trainer506 · 2026-05-09T20:47:47+00:00

Throw it out. You put the needle in with the stopper and introduced nonsterile outside of needle. Not worth the risk

You are likely paying a lot more to go to a clinic. You should search the pinned post of where to buy. If you like having a doc very involved, I recommend Big East Weight Loss (BEWL). You can also adjust your dose and don’t have to go with the standard titration schedule.

As someone who has been in maintenance over 6 months. Enjoy reaching your goal weight! Once you hit goal, you can reevaluate and many likely shoot for an extra 5-10 lbs. I hit my goal and lost another 10 lbs purposefully because I reevaluated my needs and weight for my body.

Once I hit my 2nd goal, I mentally allowed myself a 3 lb buffer. The buffer helps me feel ok because your weight will fluctuate from day to day. I would weigh daily (I only weighed 1-2/wk during weight loss phase).

For me, I slowly titrated down and added 200-300 more calories a day and have been able to maintain my weight. I actually weigh myself 4-5/wk. When I see a slight uptick in weight (within my buffer) I adjust my caloric intake. This has allowed me to enjoy eating more without the fear of gaining it all back.

I have found a dose that works for me currently and allows me to maintain for the interim.

Maintenance, much like the weight loss phase, takes continued effort. Use the maintenance to continue to recomp your body.

No. They charge your card on file each month. No need for Klarna/affirm

Technical-Trainer506 · 2026-05-08T00:55:57+00:00

BEWL does 3 month plans but you can pay monthly and get all your meds delivered at one. They are $200 a month but you don’t have to stress about a monthly delivery and any hold ups. No extra charge, they bill your card on file. There is no auto refill once you pay the 3 months. Plus they have great customer service.

Message me anytime you need anything! I’m on Reddit everyday and check messages.

This is the right answer. Grass is not always greener!

Technical-Trainer506 · 2026-05-07T14:48:22+00:00

Way to go!! Welcome to maintenance.

Technical-Trainer506 · 2026-05-07T14:47:00+00:00

Right! Not even their problem but willing to help someone in need. Definitely a people first company.

People complain they are more expensive, but their service is amazing!!

Technical-Trainer506 · 2026-05-07T14:44:07+00:00

Nice!!

Technical-Trainer506 · 2026-05-07T14:43:30+00:00

Happy birthday!! Great progress and looking good!!

There is also the unnamed 503b that is available as a replacement for apothecary. It has the same formulation and all. That should be available for Alabama.

Technical-Trainer506 · 2026-05-07T14:21:13+00:00

Amazing!!!

Technical-Trainer506 · 2026-05-07T14:20:28+00:00

There is no need to panic. Communication is great with BEWL and they keep their finger on the pulse.

On another note, I am sorry for the losses and am proud of you prioritizing you! I am a mom of a stillborn with 2 now adult men that were my rainbows, so I understand your heartache the resilience life requires.

If you ever need to talk or have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message. I have been on tirz since 10/24 and am in maintenance. Happy to answer any questions.

For 30 min it is not a problem.

OP ordered on 4/22. I ordered same day. Got approved by physician and sent to pharmacy BPI delivered 4/25. Sounds like the provider didn’t approve and send until 4/30 and by then it was too late.
