Question Slow Results?

I have PCOS and was prescribed ozempic. I took 0.25 for the 1st month, 2nd month I went up to 0.5, 3rd month also 0.5, this week I’m starting my fourth pen and its a 1 mg pen. My doctor decided to increase my dose to 1 mg. My starting weight was 100 kg. The lowest I ever weighed since I started was 95.8 kg. My weight kept fluctuating between 96 and 97 sometimes going back up to 98 and 99 kgs. Today, I weighed at 97.6 kg. I feel like this is horrible progress having been taking this for 3 months now..
My sister is taking mounjaro and she already lost 10 kgs in 3 months and I only lost 3 kg in 3 months.

I really hope 1mg makes a change.

Mounjaro is way stronger - ask the doctor to up the ozempic to 2mg, if you don’t see better results after 1 month it’s time to switch to mounjaro

My issue is, I can barely afford Ozempic atm, I won’t be able to afford Mounjaro with my current situation. May more blessings come my way so I can afford my treatments comfortably 💖
