No. Wegovy is contraindicated in pregnancy. Discontinue at least 2 months before attempting conception due to semaglutide's 1-week half-life.
Wegovy and other GLP-1 medications are contraindicated during pregnancy. The 2-month washout recommendation comes from semaglutide's ~1-week half-life — full clearance takes ~5 half-lives. Animal studies showed adverse fetal effects; no human pregnancy data is available. If you become pregnant unexpectedly on Wegovy, contact your prescriber immediately — they will recommend discontinuation but the existing exposure is unlikely to require pregnancy termination. Restart only after breastfeeding ends.
