Tennessee Woman Reverses Infertility Struggles After Losing Over 100 Pounds Using GLP-1 Injections

If you’d told me a year ago that coming off a medication would feel like stepping off a cliff, I’d have laughed.

But here I am—clinging to my resolve and bracing for the emotional freefall.

For the past 17 months, I’ve had the help of two injectable weight-loss drugs—Wegovy (Ozempic’s weight management version) and Mounjaro.

Especially because I can’t be on these drugs during IVF—it’s too risky, and there’s not enough research on how they affect pregnancy.

At 47 (no judgment, please), I’m navigating not just fertility challenges but type 1 diabetes—the kind that’s lifelong, not lifestyle-related.

Insulin keeps me alive, but it also encourages fat storage. So even a little slip can cause weight to snowball fast.

That’s why the GLP-1 drugs were such a game-changer for me—they made
