"Unexpected Pregnancies Linked to Weight Loss Drugs: Exploring the Ozempic Effect"

Marcela Romero, a woman with fertility issues, got pregnant within two weeks of taking weight loss medication Mounjaro, joining a growing number of women who have conceived while on similar drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. These medications, which target hormones in the brain to suppress appetite and trigger weight loss, may be correcting hormonal imbalances caused by obesity and metabolic disorders, improving fertility odds. However, experts warn against using weight loss drugs to try to get pregnant, as research on animals suggests potential risks of miscarriage and birth defects if taken during pregnancy.
