Hello everyone

F 26

Context- I've had ME for around 10 years. I am at a stage where I manage to work 4 days per week but I do find myself burnt out at the end of each week. I knew I would want a family one day, was not expecting it to happen now. I felt selfish thinking of having a baby as I worried about having enough energy for them.

I am however very excited for this new chapter. I wanted to ask if anyone has any of their own stories or bits of advice they can offer.

I'm very grateful that I have supportive family close by. My husband helps me a lot as well as my sister in law. I haven't told anyone yet, I'm waiting for the 3 months first, just incase.

What worries me is the fact that when my mother had my younger sister, I was 16 and I had to do majority of the work with an undiagnosed illness. So I was constantly burnt out, depressed, exhausted. I wouldn't change my sister for the world but this is a big reason why I waited to have children.

Hello, I am F26, lost 30kg on Mounjaro. Been maintaining for past few months with dropping doses down to 7.5. I can no longer afford it and I also want to start a family.

I've gone to 5mg and my food noise has come back extremely loud. I'm so hungry with stomach rumbling constantly. I eat high protein, have a walking pad and do home workouts 3 days per week. I do not calculate calories as I find it very triggering.

I'm struggling so much with the food noise and being able to maintain my weight :( even with high protein foods and volume eating, I'm still hungry. I'm so scared for when I completely stop mj.
