CAN PEPTIDES
GET YOU PREGNANT?


Indirectly: yes.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━



▸ TL;DR ◂
Short version: Reta slows gastric emptying → oral medication gets absorbed differently → the pill becomes less reliable. At the same time you're losing weight, which can bring fertility back.
Use back-up contraception at the start and at every dose increase.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Before anyone panics: Reta itself won't get you pregnant. The problem sits somewhere else – and it runs in three steps.

STEP 1
Reta slows down your gastric emptying

That's the starting point for everything else. Your stomach releases its contents more slowly than before.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

STEP 2
So oral medication works differently

Anything you swallow gets absorbed differently than it did before.

The pill is oral medication.

So it no longer necessarily works the way it worked before.​

It's possible – and there are studies on this – that with compounds like tirzepatide, in this case Reta, hormones don't get absorbed by the body as well as they did before.

Fewer hormones absorbed means less contraceptive protection.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

STEP 3
On top of that: the weight loss

And this is the part almost nobody factors in: losing weight can restart your cycle and bring your fertility back.


Contraception gets weaker.
Fertility gets stronger.


Both at once, both from the same peptide.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

  • Use back-up contraception while taking compounds like this
  • Use back-up contraception at every dose increase – not just the first one

Otherwise there really could be a baby.

thanks i will go to 10mg and add 5mg of tirz
'Mirin the Reta + Tirz, though the tirzepatide dose might be too high, I do not think high doses are necassarily needed for additional GLP-1R occupancy, especially due to your planned Retatrutide doseage.

Im assuming you're including the Tirzepatide for addition insulin sensitivity too then?

Do you pin 'slin or just simply use GLP-1s?
