To get the conversation started, here are some key questions to ask your fertility team: "What is your clinic's specific protocol for holding my medication before an egg retrieval?" "Based on my specific drug and dose, when should I take my last injection before we start an IVF cycle?" "Who do I need to notify when I pause my medicationyou, or my other doctor?" "If we don't achieve pregnancy this cycle, when would it be safe to restart my GLP-1 medication?" "Do you recommend any specific nutritional supplements or assessments while I'm off the medication?" This collaborative approach ensures that your weight management and fertility goals are working in harmony, not against each other
