Hi
I don’t understand your complete question when you say to plan in future. Also it is given to people with higher BMI.
It is better to avoid it, since it comes with its own side effects too.

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is FDA-approved for adults with type 2 diabetes and may be used off-label for weight management in individuals with a BMI ≥30. However, it's not recommended during pregnancy or if planning to conceive soon, as safety in pregnancy hasn't been established. It may affect fertility and should be discontinued at least 2 months before planning pregnancy due to its long half-life.
Next Steps
Consult with an endocrinologist or obesity specialist before starting Mounjaro. If pregnancy is a near-future goal, explore alternative lifestyle-based or safer medical approaches.
I'll be happy to guide you with Food choices according to your health goals.
Health Tips
Avoid self-prescribing Mounjaro. Always assess reproductive plans and current metabolic health with your doctor before starting any medication.

Mounjaro is not a shortcut to weight loss. It should only be considered if you are unable to lose weight through diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes, or if you’ve hit a plateau—and only under the supervision of a qualified doctor.
Next Steps
It's best to first consult a qualified dietician who can guide you with a personalized, sustainable plan tailored to your needs.
Health Tips
Be patient and consistent – Sustainable weight loss takes time. Small, steady changes yield lasting results.
Keep medicines as your last resort and not first choice

Mounjaro can be effective and safe for women with BMI 30, but there are important considerations, especially if you’re planning to conceive in the future
If you’re planning to conceive soon
This is where caution is very important
1. It’s harm to fetus . So it’s not recommended during pregnancy
2. When to stop Mounjaro before trying to conceive:
Current guidelines recommend stopping at least 1 month before planning pregnancy.
3. Breastfeeding:
It is not recommended during lactation
