Same experience here with GLP-1 and menstrual. MaxMetOK described it perfectly.

Gonna push back on this one. GLP-1 and menstrual irregularity is not that straightforward in my experience. I have been on this for 18 months and the reality is messier than the trials suggest.
Don't get me wrong — the medication works. But adherence is harder than people admit. We should be honest about that.

Want to share my personal experience related to GLP-1 and menstrual since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 262 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 18 months later: I am down 37 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The GLP-1 and menstrual aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

marcus_mpls — that is really helpful context on GLP-1 and menstrual. Follow-up question: how long did you wait before increasing your dose?
I am in a similar situation (week 4) and trying to set realistic expectations.
