On social media, a bizarre trend seems to be emerging: surprise pregnancies when taking the diabetes drug Ozempic and its sister weight loss shot Wegovy.For one thing, Dr. Iman Saleh — an obstetrician, gynecologist, and obesity medicine doctor at New York's Northwell Health system — tellsthat through a roundabout mechanism, the weight people lose on these drugs may be making them more fertile.
Additionally, the doctor said, the changes in one's stomach lining that might result from taking semaglutide-based drugs — which are known to mimic the feeling of fullness in the gut — could affect birth control as well. So prevalent is this phenomenon that Novo Nordisk, which makes both, has set up a website specifically for people to report when they've, Wegovy "may cause fetal harm," and the company suggests that once someone realizes they're pregnant, they should "discontinue" use of the drug.
