Ozempic is a type 2 diabetes medicine, not a fertility treatment.
The weight loss triggered by this class of drug is likely to be driving these surprise pregnancies.
Carrying extra weight negatively affects women's fertility in several ways, including inhibiting ovulation and reducing the quality of their eggs and womb lining.
80% of women with PCOS have BMI values above normal or high.
The rest present with what is known as a lean phenotype.
PCOS patients could stand to benefit more from a medicated approach to weight loss because they have metabolism problems that make shedding pounds more challenging.
GLP-1 drugs aren’t recommended for women trying to conceive.
“Even my partner said to me, as soon as you’re done breastfeeding, if you’re ready, we’ll put you back on Ozempic, because he could just see how much of a smile the benefits put on my face,” she says. “I think doctors, the NHS , everyone, just need to be more aware of what is out there and what can actually help.”.
