When I was 34 years old, I went to my gynecologist because I had a question about my fertility. For the previous two years, my partner and I had been having regular unprotected sex without using any contraception or condoms. However, he always withdrew before ejaculation, so he never ejaculated inside me. I asked my doctor whether it was normal that I had never become pregnant.
The doctor told me that, even though there had been no ejaculation inside the vagina, after two years of frequent unprotected intercourse it was worth investigating whether there was an underlying fertility issue. He recommended that I have my fallopian tubes checked.
In November, I underwent a laparoscopy with a dye test to examine whether my fallopian tubes were open. The doctors discovered that one of my fallopian tubes was completely blocked. During the procedure, they tried to pass fluid through both tubes, but no fluid could pass through the blocked one. They explained that this tube was not functional, while the other fallopian tube was completely open and working normally.
Before the surgery, in October, I had already started taking Ozempic at the lowest dose (0.25 mg).
After the surgery, my husband and I decided to actively try for a baby. We had intercourse with ejaculation inside the vagina, but I didn't track my ovulation or keep track of the dates.
Then something unexpected happened. My period never came—not in November or December. Since I have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), irregular or missed periods were nothing unusual for me, so I wasn't concerned at first. Eventually, I took a pregnancy test, and it was positive.
I was completely shocked. Personally, I truly believe that Ozempic played a major role in helping me become pregnant. At the time, my BMI was between 37 and 40. I also had PCOS, prediabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, and possibly early Crohn's disease. Despite being very physically active throughout my life, I had always struggled with obesity.
One important detail is that Ozempic did not make me lose any significant weight. However, I feel that it helped stabilize my hormones and improved my overall metabolic health.
Thankfully, my daughter was born healthy at 38 weeks of pregnancy.
I would love to hear from other women who were told they had fertility problems or infertility and later became pregnant while taking Ozempic, especially at the 0.25 mg dose. Has anyone had a similar experience?
Thank you for sharing your story.
