Thoughts on the monjaro injections?

I had my baby the end of January 24, I’ve not lost any weight since having him apart from a blip when I was poorly. I’ve always said I wouldn’t consider the monjaro injections but I have always struggled with my weight. What are people’s thoughts on them, if you have been on them have you had many side effects??

During egg collection, we only got 13 with only 1 egg fertilising. They had put me on medication for a frozen transfer due to the amount of eggs they were expecti...

Am I pregnant?

Hello, I’ve been testing for 4 days now and they’re super light. I can’t tell if they’re getting darker or not. It’s clearly a positive test but the clear blue digital says not pregnant?? I’m so confused? Would you say these are pregnancy? Chemical pregnancy? I don’t know what’s going on
