Woman says she got pregnant while on Mounjaro: What to know about weight loss drugs and pregnancy

More women are reporting that drugs for weight loss are helping with fertility.

She said she discontinued Mounjaro after her pregnancy was confirmed, and nine months later, in September 2023, gave birth to a healthy daughter.Romero is part of a growing number of women reporting they were able to become pregnant after taking Mounjaro or other drugs used for weight loss, including Ozempic and Wegovy.

"I spoke to my gynecologist, and she agreed that I could take it and hopefully quickly lose weight," Parker said. "So far I've lost about 12 pounds, and I'm really looking forward to hopefully making a smooth transition to implanting the baby." In addition, the drugs can slow gastric emptying and make any oral medications, including contraceptives, less effective, which increases the risk of an unintended pregnancy, according to Dr. Jennifer Ashton, a board-certified OBGYN and obesity medicine physician, and ABC News' chief medical correspondent.
