Was taking retatrutide before finding out i was pregnent

I wouldn't have thought many people would have taken it as its not available in the UK yet. But the main extra ingredient is glucagon which is found naturally in the body. I think they have no idea the side effects as they can't ethically do clinical trials on pregnant women. I think that's why they suggest not to take it at all. Im sure you'll be absolutely fine lots of people have gotten pregnant on mounjaro and its not massively different. Xx

I’d bring it up to your doctors as the reta that you can currently get in the UK isn’t approved or licensed yet so highly likely they’re contaminated or different dosage than it may state. so maybe just bring it up to them and ask if they can do bloods or anything just to ensure it’s fully out of your system? x

I took it as I had pcos and it helped me to loose weight. It also started to regulate my cycles which is how I got pregnant which I never thought would happen naturally. I was taking it up to when I found out at round 4 or 5 weeks but came off it instantly. I had a scan at 6 and the baby was growing and had a healthy heart beat. So far most weight loss drugs dont show a trend of affecting the baby's development in the early stages it is just because its not been around for a while. Ive heard from people that they have had perfectly healthy babies. As long as you have stopped taking it and ensuring you are getting the right vitamins I wouldnt worry too much. Im in the exact same boat as you! I have my first midwife appointment on friday so im going to mention the fact I was on weight loss injections and if that will impact it. I hope this helps xx

I was taking it before I found out. 6 months so far and baby is still looking healthy. I did mention it to my midwife at my first appointment and she said it’s very common now so I shouldn’t worry x
