This is an excerpt from a YouTube video titled "GLP Medications: Boosting Fertility and Pregnancy Insights" (created 2025-01-15). It features McCall McPherson speaking about GLP-1 medications and their effects on fertility and pregnancy — asserting they can improve egg quantity and quality, contribute to an uptick in unintended pregnancies ('Ozempic babies'), and noting guidance to discontinue for 60 days for women and 90 days for men due to sperm-cycle replenishment.

The flip side of that conversation is GLPs influence fertility in a positive way. In so many ways. They improve egg quantity, quality, the cycles of your egg, Everything. Everything. Almost. So, so many positive benefits. So that is why we are having an uprise and an uptick in quote Ozempic babies, because people are inadvertently getting pregnant because their fertility increases where they weren't getting pregnant before. So. So the formal recommendation is 60 days. Interestingly, y', all, for men, it is 90 days. So if you are trying to get pregnant and your husband is on a GLP, the recommendation for that is 90 days. That's how long it takes for an entire sperm cycle to be replenished. And so that's why.
