Visit NewSelfThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out NewSelf on the Mama-Match Score, 94 to 70 (A vs C). Moms who want a clear, honest first step — a real clinician instead of a questionnaire, a flat price, and the freedom to pause when life needs you to.
NewSelf is still a genuine option — a flat, dose-independent price for both molecules — $99.97/mo semaglutide, $144.49/mo tirzepatide, same price at every dose — nationwide, though it requires 3 months upfront. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

Mama-Match
CoreAge Rx
Rank #1 · Grade A
What we like
- One flat monthly price, with no teaser rate that jumps after the first month — you know the number before you commit
- A clinician reads your history and will genuinely talk timing with you if you're postpartum, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide in one account, so you and a clinician can choose — and switch — without starting over
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom teaser price — a couple of marketplaces dangle a lower first-month number
- Compounded medication only, not FDA-approved brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated OB-GYN or hormone consult
Mama-Match
NewSelf
Rank #23 · Grade C
What we like
- Explicitly flat, dose-independent pricing for both molecules — a real differentiator most competitors don't offer
- Nationwide (all 50 states)
- Fast: signup to treatment in as little as 4 days, per the site
The caveats
- Requires 3 months upfront rather than a true month-to-month option
- No mention anywhere of pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum care, or PCOS
- No named compounding pharmacy or medical director found on the pages checked
