Women who are overweight or obese have larger amounts of the hormone leptin, which is made in
adipose tissue. This may throw off the hormone balance and lower fertility rates. According to studies,
12% to 15% of couples who struggle with infertility that engage in unprotected sex after a year are still
unable to conceive, and 10% of couples who do not conceive after two years still do not have a live birth.

Infertility and weight gain are linked with weight being a factor
for infertility. Mounjaro aids in weight loss and therefore would
help improve pregnancy outcomes. After the doctor reviews the
patient in a consultation, it will determine if the patient is
suitable to use the medication. The patient would start on the
starter dose of 2.5mg if approved for Mounjaro.

Mounjaro works by mimicking the effects of two natural hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic
polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). These hormones help to control blood sugar levels by
increasing insulin secretion, slowing gastric emptying, and suppressing glucagon secretion.
Increasing insulin secretion: Mounjaro stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas, which helps to
lower blood sugar levels.
Slowing gastric emptying: Mounjaro slows down the movement of food from the stomach into the small
intestine, which helps you feel full for longer and eat less.
Suppressing glucagon secretion: Mounjaro reduces the release of glucagon from the pancreas, which helps to prevent the liver from releasing too much sugar into the bloodstream.

Mounjaro, a medication originally approved for type 2 diabetes, has shown promise in addressing
some symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), particularly in areas that can indirectly
impact fertility. PCOS often involves insulin resistance and obesity, which can contribute to irregular
menstrual cycles and infertility. By improving insulin sensitivity and promoting weight loss,
Mounjaro may help alleviate some of these issues, thereby improving fertility outcomes in women
with PCOS.

Before recommending Mounjaro for weight management, medical professionals will evaluate a number of aspects, including general health and BMI. If the patient meets the eligibility requirements and the medicine is deemed appropriate for managing their weight, they can be prescribed Mounjaro. There maybe a few factors preventing the prescribing of Mounjaro such as Thyroid cancer or any medical conditions which could be a health risk.
