Ozempic Babies in Howard County: How Weight Loss Shots Affect Fertility

Losing weight has all sorts of effects on the body, including changes in hormones and fertility. Weight loss is generally associated with increased fertility because it often restores normal ovulation cycles.

It’s not uncommon for women who are overweight or obese to have irregular menstrual cycles. Losing 10-15% or more of your body weight can have an impact on your fertility.

Ozempic also may have an affect on fertility because it delays gastric emptying. Slowing the rate may interfere with the effects of medications including birth control pills.

To help reduce your risk of an unexpected pregnancy while taking weight loss injections:

• Use other forms of contraception, such as an IUD.

• Double up on birth control options if you’re taking the pill by also using condoms.

• Track your menstrual cycles more closely, especially as you lose weight.

While Ozempic and other GLP-1 medicines may increase fertility, there aren’t many studies that have been conducted to determine their safety during pregnancy. If you’re planning to become pregnant, it’s best to stop using weight loss injections for at least two months prior.
