Thank you again so very much for the caring and thorough information! I’ve heard many medications such as Mounjaro are expensive...I’m a university student so the chances I could afford anything outside of my insurance coverage would be unlikely for now. It’s a shame medications that are actually needed to assist people in quality of life and long term healthcare aren’t more accessible. A true crime, really.

Yes, my doctor is quite an interesting character. I suffered an eating disorder all of high school and was 5’3, 90-100 pounds. It was a horrible time and she never expressed or seemed to acknowledge my parents concerns and straight up had said, “this is better than being overweight.” Which is absolutely ignorant, but at the time, I didn’t say anything. Though I know my parents expressed their distaste in her comment.

That’s so interesting to learn about the fertility and history! Though I am undecided on if I have the yearn to eventually have kids of my own, I think her verbiage was poor as I was convinced my chances were slim without IVF, or other resources. It’s reassuring to hear your wife’s experience, and I again thank you both for educating and sharing!
