Can I have treatment if I’m using weight loss injections?
If you're using weight loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Rybelsus, you’ll need to stop these before beginning fertility treatment.
Each medication has its own wash-out period – this is the minimum time you’ll need to wait between your last dose and the start of treatment:
-
Mounjaro (tirzepatide): wait at least 1 month
-
Ozempic / Wegovy / Rybelsus (semaglutide): wait at least 2 months
This guidance is based on how long these medications stay in your system and current safety recommendations for people trying to conceive.
