I had weight loss but I was also dieting. After I went off the Byetta I didn't have as significant of weightloss but i did continue to lose weight. |
I'm 36 weeks right now and still on the 5mcg injection twice daily. My doctor did advise me to stop, since it's a category C drug and not much is documented about it during pregnancy-- BUT I did a lot of research, and from what I had found the benefits definitely outweighed the risks.
As of now, my baby has been developing completely normal and is healthy. My PCOS symptoms have been kept at bay, by using the Byetta and Metformin XR together, and I've had a very healthy pregnancy. It's a personal choice, but I definitely recommend it!
