How do yall feel about Reta and peptides? Is this a safe space to say I don’t like them and I’d rather work harder just to be mid and not possibly lose the ability to have children in the future

Steroids can mess with your ability to have kids. I don’t think reta, or any GLP1s, really mess with your ability to have kids in the same way.

No one’s losing the ability to have children from peptides. Glps in specific are super beneficial for people who actually need them and have no downsides for most people. Imo they’re only stigmatized because they’re an injectable medication. The only real danger from fda approved peptides is user error when injecting or contaminants in grey market products.

No downsides for most people? Reta definitely has negative side effects. It hasn’t really been properly studied either.

It’s a few months away from being fda approved so it’s definitely been properly studied

The FDA is investigating it. They might approve it, they might not. Even if they do approve it, they’ll approve it for a specific use and a specific target population.

I don’t know I don’t think anyone knows that’s why I said possibly. I do however think it definitely affects people using it to the extreme because being seriously underweight does affect fertility just like being severely overweight affects it.
