@danithepa: A new BMJ editorial reviewed what we know about GLP-1 exposure during early pregnancy. The most reassuring finding is that the largest human study to date did not show an increased risk of major congenital malformations after first-trimester exposure. But that's not the end of the story. Researchers still don't have enough long-term data to know whether there are effects that appear later in childhood, which is why current recommendations still advise stopping GLP-1 medications before pregnancy when possible. One point that doesn't get talked about enough: GLP-1s may actually increase fertility in some people by improving insulin resistance, restoring ovulation in PCOS, and, for some medications, temporarily affecting oral contraceptive absorption. This is educational only and isn't individualized medical advice. If you're pregnant or planning pregnancy while taking a GLP-1 medication, discuss your specific situation with your healthcare provider. #MetabolicHealth #wellness #perimenopause #menopause #pregnancy
