GLP-1 agonists and menstrual changes in women

[Kristyna Dorris]

Does anyone know if/how GLP-1 agonists can affect menstrual cycles in women? I am not able to find much research on this topic except if there is PCOS..

They will begin to ovulate once insulin resistance reverses….. sometimes the ovaries are very sensitive and / or resistant to insulin.

as well peripheral conversion of estrogen can decrease with weight loss and body composition changes.

all of the above will have an impact on ovulation and cycle change.

in the vein, if someone does not want to become pregnancies that need to be addressed while on these meds.

hope that helps
