What should I do if I become pregnant during treatment?
If you become pregnant while taking GLP-1 medication:
Do not take your next dose
Contact your care team promptly
Follow the guidance provided by your licensed provider or OB/GYN
Your provider will review your treatment plan and discuss the next steps with you.
Can I use GLP-1 medication while breastfeeding?
These medications are not recommended while breastfeeding.
If you are currently nursing or planning to breastfeed, speak with your provider before starting or continuing treatment.
What if I plan to become pregnant in the future?
If pregnancy may be part of your future plans, it’s important to discuss your timeline and treatment goals with your provider.
Because GLP-1 medications are generally not recommended during pregnancy, your provider may advise stopping treatment before trying to conceive. The appropriate timing can vary depending on:
Your medication
Your treatment plan
Your medical history
Your pregnancy timeline
Your provider can guide you on the approach for your situation.
Does GLP-1 medication affect fertility?
Questions about fertility and future pregnancy planning should always be discussed with a licensed provider.
Your provider can review your health history, current treatment, and long-term goals to help determine the best next steps for you.
Important safety note
Always inform your provider about:
Pregnancy
Possible pregnancy
Breastfeeding
Plans to become pregnant
This helps ensure your treatment plan remains appropriate for your needs.
Note: GLP-1 medications are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, speak with your provider so your treatment plan can be reviewed safely.
