Obesity is a risk factor for cancer as well, though.

I looked into it and it was a side effect that had only been seen in rats. And I recall this was because rats already have a higher level of some sort of hormone that makes that more likely. I don’t remember the exact ins and outs, but I figured my weight was putting me at more health risks than a very rare potential risk from a treatment that could help me fix them all.
Totally each to their own though and I can understand why it’s frightening to read!
I ordered from Asda, as they do a discount for the first pen (they sell one to start, then you buy in threes or fives). How long they last is dependent on how long you stay on each dose - each pen holds 18ml (mg? Can’t remember!) and the starting dose is 0.6. You then increase by 0.6 increments so 0.6/1.2/1.8/2.4/and 3.00 (full dose) You can go up every week (not before) or stay on a dose that works for you. Some people also go up by ‘clicks’, (ten between each dose) and go up the doses slowly (or not at all). Basically, you may spend longer doing the maths of how long a pen lasts than actually eating. If you get to the full dose of 3.0 each pen will last 6 days, stay on 2.4 and it’ll last 7.5 days, stay on 1.8 and it’ll last 10 days etc
I had two fish fingers and a small portion of oven fries and tonight. TWO!
I'm losing again and feeling full 
. Just increased my dose more lol

What dose are you on now?I'm losing again and feeling full
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply in such depth! *runs to asda website*
@raspberryjuice 1.8 llf. x
Has anyone used more than 4 doses from their 0.25 ozempic pen? Because I’ve done 4 weeks and I’ve still got loads left in the pen!
I’ve been approved for ozempic now.
Im thinking of doing 0.25 ozempic and reducing my sax down to 1.8 at the same time
I know you shouldn’t use both but they’re different drugs that work in the same way so I’m wondering if it would be effective or if I’d just be ill 
anyone any thoughts?? I’ve got about a stone/1.5st left to lose but it’s really slow progress now (physically changing but the scales aren’t moving much) and im impatient. It’s very expensive to not see the number on the scales going anywhere.
Obviously not suggesting anyone else does this and I may not actually do it just curious.

I must have a different pen. Mine comes with 4 "injections" of 0.25 that I click onto the pen. So I used one each week. Just took no. 4 last week. How's it going for you?
You’ll get needles form Asda 
The timing of taking it completely depends on you and what works best. You may not have any side effects good luck

good luckHi ladies. Has anyone moved over to Ozempic from Saxenda? I have 5 pens of saxenda left and iv decided after that I'll move to ozempic for price purposes as it seems to be bit cheaper and also better results hopefully. Would be interested to hear how it has gone for anyone or best way to do it..leaving gap before starting etc. Thanks in advance
I did. No gap between but the mistake I made was starting on the lowest dose. It meant I didn’t lose for the first 2/3 months. Since October I’ve lost 20 lbs and I’m delighted with that.
OK thats good to know. I'm at 3.0 now on saxenda so will ahbe to try figure out what dose would be suitable on ozempic. Thanks for the feedback.
Did you gain in that time or maintain? 20lbs since October is amazing
I lost 32 lbs on Saxenda then stalled for 6 months. I decided to take a two week break as I’d read online restarting could break a stall. I shouldn’t have done that because I gained something like 10lbs really fast and continued to gain once I restarted. I got to the point I was only 11 lbs down from the start. Now I’m back to 31 lbs down so pretty much exactly where I was this time last year. I’m not going to take a break again! Also I’m not going to be silly enough to believe tit online not written by a qualified doctor 
I am down 24% of my starting weight from last May. However was away last week and here was me thinking yeah so slim but photos say otherwise. I'd have thought 10 1/2 stone was a nice weight for a me but apparently not. But I seem to have stopped weight loss. I know I've over shot what Ozempic should achieve for me and am in such a better place then last year.
Had gone down a few notches over supply issues christmas and have just titrated up to 1 again. (started 1 last thursday). Ideally would like another few lbs down to give me some wiggle room to be a healthy bmi. (am just a smidge under being overweight now). Don't get me wrong but I'm thrilled with where I am. But I'm still pudgy in middle. Do train and exercise but maybe need to be slightly cleaner on diet.

I started ozempic last night, I went for the arm as I’d ready it was a good place for no side effects. While I’ve eaten less I’m not convinced it’s because of ozempic. I could certainly eat my dinner and not just 3 bites. I’m on the lowest dose and hope next week in the thigh will be better.
