We recommend that you discontinue Saxenda one month before attempting to conceive. In fact, you should ideally be at a weight you're comfortable with beforehand. A BMI of 30 or less increases the likelihood of becoming pregnant and having a successful pregnancy. Saxenda should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Weight loss during pregnancy is not recommended. Mostly because of the necessary weight gain in maternal tissues during pregnancy, all pregnant women, including those who are already overweight or obese, are advised to gain as little as possible.
