I stayed on it for 2 months but I regretted it as about a week into the 2nd month I was starving!Wegovy people, how long did you stay at 1mg. I’m halfway through my first month and it’s working well, finally seeing the scales go down. Thinking I should stay on this to keep the cost down but also worried of committing to another month of 1mg only to find it’s not enough as my body adjusts and I end up really hungry on it

Do you mind me asking what your bmi is? I’m also on week 3 of MJ and only lost like 5lbs I feel so demotivated

This. For the first time ever in my life my period came 8 days late.

It's definitely MJ. I am on wegovy though. I freaked out that whole 8 days. And same with you all symptoms were there, and yep my partner as well thinks it smells a bit different than usual

What injection are you taking? Thanks

Hi, I am just about to put my order through with Mediexpress - if it doesn’t get approved will I get my money back?
Also, what do they check to why it approved ? Thanks

That’s my fear. I still have at least a week to decide. 3rd injection tomorrow

I have just re-ordered and stayed on 2.5 but I immediately regret it. Has anyone stayed on 2.5 for a while and continued to lose weight?

Can you take vitamins and collagen tablets while on Mounjaro?

No, I'm peri menopausal, I haven't had a period since December.. My skins usually bang on. So this blotchy business is a bit odd.
But I'll power on. I'll sort the rubbish skin out when I'm slim.

I’m on week 3 day 5 of MJ 2.5. Until yesterday the only side effects were some reflux and sulphur burps. But since yesterday, omg the diarrhoea 🫣
it’s been constant. I am taking Imodium as otherwise I don’t think I’d have been able to leave the house. I’ve just received the 5ml pen today too but wish I’d waited a couple more days before ordering to see if the diarrhoea eases off. I dread to think what it will be like on the higher dose.

It is generally based on BMI, what it your BMI?

Those on MJ (sorry not sure how the others work re cravings) how do you feel when you go into the supermarket? Eg temptations

Anyone else finding the MJ pen way harder to use then the Wegovy 
I did third MJ dose tonight & when I took it out 5 second after the dose counter going back to zero it shot loads of liquid into the air 
no idea if I got the full dose or not.

Looking for advice on whether I should increase my Mounjaro dose or stay at 2.5.
I'm due to inject my third dose of MJ tomorrow, at which point I can order my next pen. Really don't know whether to stay at this dose or move up.
I've had few side effects, all very manageable. Positive effects great as well, but I do notice them tailing off at the end of the week - and I think I've noticed that more on my second week than the first. If I could have the effect I'm getting in the first half of the week to last, I don't think I'd need to increase dose.....but I'm a bit worried about committing to another 6 weeks at 2.5 tomorrow, after I've only been taking it for 2 weeks. I guess that's quite a long time for my body to get used to it so it stops being so effective. I don't want to be wishing I'd gone up a dose 3 weeks from now, but equally I'm worried about the side effects suddenly hitting me if I do go up.
Any thoughts anyone? Has anyone stayed on the lowest dose of MJ for a second month?

I'm two days on from my third Wegovy shot and no difference yet. I have probably lost a pound or two as I have moderated my eating habits (cut down snacking) as I know we are supposed to do that anyway but I'd love to feel that radical cut in appetite that others are experiencing. I hope it will come soon.
Had you any loss with it? If you don't mind me asking how did you realise it stopped working and how long did it take to realise it? Thanks.
