Why Wegovy Is Not Recommended During Pregnancy
Wegovy is a prescription-only, once-weekly injectable medicine containing semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. According to the medicine's Summary of Product Characteristics, use during pregnancy is not recommended. Animal studies have shown effects on foetal development at clinically relevant doses, and there is currently insufficient data from human pregnancies to establish safety for the developing baby.
What the guidance says
The official patient information for Wegovy advises that women who become pregnant, are planning a pregnancy, or suspect they may be pregnant should stop taking the medicine and inform their prescriber or doctor promptly. Because semaglutide has a relatively long half-life — meaning it remains active in the body for some time after the last dose — your prescriber may advise stopping the medicine a period of weeks before trying to conceive. The exact timeframe should be discussed with your own doctor, as it depends on your individual circumstances.
What this means practically
- Do not attempt to continue Wegovy through a pregnancy without explicit clinical guidance — this is a decision that must involve your prescriber.
- If you discover you are pregnant while taking Wegovy, contact your healthcare professional as soon as possible rather than waiting for your next scheduled appointment.
- Effective contraception is generally considered important for people of childbearing potential who are taking this medicine, unless pregnancy is being actively planned in coordination with a clinician.

Talking to Your Prescriber — and How GLP Trackr Can Help
Pregnancy-related decisions about any prescription medicine belong entirely with your prescriber or doctor — GLP Trackr does not give medical advice, and nothing on this page should replace a prompt conversation with your healthcare team. If there is any possibility you are pregnant, please contact your prescriber without delay.
Where the app fits in
For people who are on Wegovy and navigating questions about pausing or stopping their medication, GLP Trackr's dose and injection logging can be genuinely useful. Keeping an accurate record of your last dose date, dose strength, and injection history means you have clear, organised information to bring to your prescriber appointment — rather than trying to recall it from memory at a stressful moment.
GLP Trackr also includes a side-effect and symptom tracker, which lets you log how you are feeling day to day. If you are stopping Wegovy and want to monitor how your body responds in the weeks that follow, having that record can make your conversation with a clinician more informed and specific.
If symptoms are severe, persistent, or worrying at any point, contact your healthcare professional promptly — the app supports your record-keeping, but it is not a substitute for clinical care. Any decision about stopping, pausing, or restarting your medication must be made with your prescriber, not independently.
You can also explore our broader GLP-1 medication tracking hub for more on managing your journey with a companion app.
GLP Trackr is free to try for 7 days — download it on the App Store or Google Play and keep your dose history and wellbeing notes in one place, ready for whenever you need them.
