Mounjaro and pregnancy is something many women ask me about in clinic.
The latest research is reassuring. A study looking at 3,572 pregnancies exposed to GLP-1 medications (including tirzepatide) did not find a significant increase in birth defects, miscarriage, or major pregnancy complications after accidental early pregnancy exposure.
That said, the advice hasn't changed.
✔️ Use Mounjaro before pregnancy if it's part of your treatment plan.
✔️ Stop it before trying to conceive or before embryo transfer.
✔️ If you become pregnant while taking it, stop the medication and speak to your doctor. Based on current evidence, accidental early exposure alone is not considered a reason to end the pregnancy.
Every pregnancy is different, so always discuss your individual situation with your fertility specialist.
