"Potential Link Between Ozempic and Fertility Concerns"

Reports of unexpected pregnancies in women using weight loss injections like Ozempic and Wegovy have sparked speculation about a potential link to fertility, but experts caution that the pregnancies are likely due to the significant weight loss caused by the injections rather than a direct fertility-boosting effect. The weight loss from these injections may indirectly address fertility issues related to obesity, insulin resistance, and hormone imbalances. However, these medications are not recommended for women who are not overweight and struggling to conceive, as they could lead to malnutrition and are not considered safe during pregnancy. Women who become pregnant while using these injections should stop immediately and seek medical advice for evaluating the impact on the pregnancy and fetus.
