ATLANTA — The latest possible benefit of GLP-1 medications may not be one many people expected.

Some women who have struggled with fertility say they became pregnant after using the popular weight loss drugs.

Health experts say the medications may improve a woman’s fertility by addressing conditions linked to obesity and insulin resistance.

They say results vary from person to person and urge women to talk with their doctor before using the medications for that purpose.
