Can You Get Pregnant While Taking Wegovy?

Yes, you can get pregnant while taking Wegovy, though the medication should be discontinued during pregnancy. Wegovy does not prevent pregnancy. If you use oral birth control and have vomiting or severe diarrhea, ask your healthcare provider whether you need backup contraception. Some research suggests GLP-1 medications may improve menstrual regularity and the chance of pregnancy in some women with PCOS, but Wegovy is not a fertility treatment and more research is needed. If you're sexually active and taking Wegovy, use reliable contraception if pregnancy isn't desired. If you become pregnant while taking Wegovy, stop the medication and contact your healthcare provider. If you are planning a pregnancy, Wegovy should generally be stopped at least 2 months before trying to conceive because it can remain in the body for several weeks.
