Hi everyone,

I’ve been on a progestin-only mini pill for years because of severe menstrual symptoms, and it worked perfectly for me, no side effects, no periods at all.

About a year ago I started Wegovy. Over the past ~2 months, I’ve suddenly started having symptoms again that feel very “cycle-like”:

  • 2–3 weeks of breast pain (like I used to get before my period, but way longer)
  • followed by about a week of spotting

This is completely new after years of being stable.

I’m wondering if this could be related to weight loss and hormonal changes from Wegovy? Has anyone else experienced something similar, especially if you’re on a progestin-only pill or other hormonal birth-control?

I'm not worried about it being anything serious, its just really annoying and confusing. I will talk to my gynecologist, but it’ll take a while to get an appointment, so I’d love to hear about others’ experiences in the meantime.

Thanks :)
