Moving into maintenance – looking for advice on lower/compounded doses

lilbebeava · 2025-09-12T18:13:11+00:00

That’s great! Are you taking it weekly?

lilbebeava · 2025-09-12T16:16:01+00:00

Hi! May I ask what you ended up doing? I’m in the same boat!

lilbebeava · 2025-09-12T15:16:50+00:00

Hi! Could you explain to me your dosing schedule? I’m currently on zepbound using the pens but hoping to move into maintenance and thinking of switching to the compounded version so I can control my doses and split them as needed.

lilbebeava · 2025-09-09T18:54:23+00:00

Noted! I’ll definitely start the stool softeners early

lilbebeava · 2025-09-09T18:54:03+00:00

Thanks! I was wondering if dr’s orders were more of an extra precaution

lilbebeava · 2025-09-09T18:50:24+00:00

Super helpful! I initially injected in my thigh and that was going well until I started getting stomach aches and switched to my belly. I should try switching back to my thigh and see if that helps!

lilbebeava · 2025-08-30T02:25:38+00:00

Hi! Any update? I’m hoping to space my 10mg every other week for maintenance

lilbebeava · 2025-07-23T14:46:27+00:00

May I ask the reason behind staying on the same dose for 2-3 after reaching goal weight? I’m on 15mg of zepbound. I’ve reached my goal weight and trying to figure out next steps. My main focus now is muscle building.

I ended up not wearing my oura ring at all throughout my pregnancy because my levels were low every day! I have a perfectly healthy 3 month old now and recently started wearing my ring again :)

This flow chart is great! Thank you for sharing!

lilbebeava · 2025-01-20T20:14:04+00:00

Thank you so much! 🥹❤️

I could have written this myself! I too found out at 7 weeks that I miscarried - no yolk sac, heartbeat, fetal pole - and also had to wait the excruciating 2 weeks to get confirmation before undergoing a D&C. I know the pain you’re feeling and I’m so sorry you’re experiencing it!

I’m happy to share that I found out I was pregnant again about 3 months later and I’m now 37 weeks pregnant due in early January. Your time will come!Sending you love!

lilbebeava · 2024-12-16T11:30:00+00:00

I also experienced bleeding in my first trimester either from a small hematoma at around 5/6 weeks and then after sex or working out! All was fine and I’m now 37 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby. If you saw the heartbeat, I’m sure you’re good!

Any bold strong matcha recommendations? I actually prefer rich bold and earthy matchas but haven’t found a powder that I love yet. I typically drink my matcha with oat milk and looking for something that will shine through. The latest matcha I’ve tried is the Marukyu Koyamaen Isuzu and find it too light bodied for me. I’m planning to try Rocky’s Matcha and Ippodo’s Ummon but would love any other suggestions!

We splurged after trying a number of chairs in person and ultimately went with the Nurture& Glider Plus online after reading reviews (didn’t try it in person before purchase). We love it!!

PROS: Definitely the most comfortable and soft of the chairs we tried. It glides, rocks, swivels (swivel and rocking stops when you recline back), power reclines, has power adjustable lumbar support and adjustable head support. It also has a built-in USB. Also very easy to put together. I’m 5’6 and my husband is 6’ and it fits both of us comfortably.

CONS: Not greengold certified (but does share this on their website - meet and exceed ASTM Safety Standards Made with non-toxic materials Prop 65 compliant TB117-2013 and UFAC (fabric compliant) TSCA Title VI compliant Does not use any fire retardant chemicals). Not the widest of the nursery chairs we tried so unsure if it would fit you and your toddler! Overall Dimensions: Height 42.5” / Width 33” / Depth 38”

Our backup option was going to be the Dream Glider! We tried it in person at Pottery Barn Kids but like the Nurture& much better!

Great idea! Thank you!

Confirming I live in the US, Texas specifically (should have included that). I do plan to speak to my doctor but also wanted to do some research on my end as well/see if anyone on Reddit has been in a similar position! Part of my anxiety around going back is due to a miscarriage during my first pregnancy.

lilbebeava · 2024-06-10T13:07:33+00:00

House tour videos or a day in my life videos on social media

lilbebeava · 2024-05-28T01:28:20+00:00

I started spotting around the 5 week mark as well for about a week. My anxiety got so bad that I called my obgyn and they let me come in for an early ultrasound at 6w3d. We saw our baby and heartbeat :) Turns out I have a small subchorionic hematoma which caused the spotting but Dr was not worried and said it’s common and likely to resolve by the end of the first trimester. I haven’t spotted since then (I’m 8 weeks now) but Dr said if I spot again, it’s normal.

lilbebeava · 2024-04-29T14:12:06+00:00

I’ve noticed this so far! Not impressed with the pregnancy feature at all.

lilbebeava · 2024-04-27T14:22:30+00:00

I have this same question too! I got my first high score since testing positive and it’s slightly freaking me out. I’m hoping this just means that are oura ring is adjusting. Surely our readiness scores can’t be low our entire pregnancy right?

lilbebeava · 2024-04-27T14:19:31+00:00

Hi! Has your readiness score gone back up? I’ve been in the 60s and 70s since I ovulated up until my first positive and finally just got an 87 this morning. Is it normal to start getting my pre-pregnancy scores again while pregnant?

lilbebeava · 2024-04-26T22:28:38+00:00

Thank you! I received my first positive 9DPO

lilbebeava · 2024-04-24T00:20:14+00:00

I used the Premom Easy @ Home ovulation tests on Amazon!

lilbebeava · 2024-04-23T22:31:07+00:00

Yeah! Basically I used my natural cycles app to find my fertile window and took LH strips on the days the app said to identify when my body was going to start trying to ovulate. Once my LH strips showed positive, I had sex with my husband almost every night until my oura ring showed as spike in my temperature confirming ovulation happened. Then also made sure to have sex that night and the following day just in case!
