How long does it take for periods to normalise after starting Mounjaro?
Most period changes after starting Mounjaro occur within the first 1 to 3 months and resolve over time as the body adjusts. These changes typically settle after a few months. Side effects from starting or increasing the dose subside within 2-3 weeks, helping the menstrual cycle regulate.
Key points:
- Rapid weight loss from Mounjaro indirectly causes menstrual changes.
- Hormonal shifts due to weight loss affect cycle regularity.
- Changes often resolve as the body adjusts to the medication.
- Improved insulin sensitivity can influence periods, especially in PCOS.
