Why Weight Loss Injections Are Used in PCOS
PCOS is associated with insulin resistance in many people, which can contribute to weight gain and make it harder to lose weight through lifestyle changes alone. GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Wegovy) act on appetite-regulating pathways to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which are also involved in insulin and appetite signalling.
Because these medicines are injectable and taken on a weekly schedule, keeping track of each dose, the injection site used, and how you are feeling becomes an important part of managing your treatment. Rotating injection sites — typically the abdomen, outer thigh, or upper arm — is generally recommended to help avoid skin reactions at any one spot. Your prescriber or the patient information leaflet that came with your pen will guide you on the specifics of technique and site selection.
What to pay attention to
- Site rotation: using the same spot repeatedly can cause localised reactions; spreading injections across different areas and positions helps.
- Weekly schedule: these medicines are taken once a week, typically on the same day each week — your prescriber will advise on your personal schedule.
- How you feel after each injection: some people with PCOS report that side effects such as nausea or fatigue vary across their cycle; logging how you feel after each dose can reveal useful patterns over time.

How GLP Trackr Supports Your Injection Routine
Staying consistent with a weekly injection is easier when you have a clear record of every dose. GLP Trackr's injection-site tracking feature logs each site you use and automatically suggests your next rotation — so you never have to remember which spot you used two weeks ago. Every entry records the date, time, dose strength, and site, giving you a reliable history to refer back to.
Alongside site tracking, the app's dose reminder feature sends a gentle nudge when your next injection is due, which is particularly helpful if your weekly schedule shifts due to travel or a busy routine. And because PCOS journeys involve more than just injections — weight, energy, mood, and side effects all play a role — GLP Trackr's daily check-in lets you capture those details each morning in around 30 seconds, building a picture you can bring to your next appointment.
If you experience any side effects that feel severe, persistent, or worrying, contact your healthcare professional promptly — GLP Trackr helps you record what you experience so you can discuss it clearly with your prescriber, but it is not a substitute for their advice.

Frequently asked questions.
GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 medicines are prescribed to some people with PCOS, where insulin resistance can make weight management harder. Whether they are suitable for you is a decision for your prescriber or doctor, based on your individual health history.
Common injection sites include the abdomen, outer thigh, and upper arm. Rotating between sites is generally recommended to reduce the chance of skin reactions. Your prescriber or the leaflet included with your pen will give you specific guidance on technique and placement.
Medicines like Mounjaro and Wegovy are taken once a week, typically on the same day each week. Your prescriber sets your schedule and advises on any dose adjustments — those decisions should always go through them, not be made independently.
GLP Trackr lets you log each injection — recording the site, date, time, and dose — and suggests your next rotation automatically. This keeps your weekly schedule organised and gives you a clear record to review with your prescriber at appointments.
Commonly reported side effects include nausea, fatigue, and digestive changes. Many people find these ease over time. If symptoms are severe, persistent, or concern you, contact your healthcare professional promptly rather than waiting for your next scheduled appointment.
