First: my doctor put me on Phentermine for weight loss (have been on it before and lost 40lbs, conceived and m/c at 6 weeks a week after stopping the Phen in 2015)

I’ve been told by my nurse to keep taking medications as prescribed until your doctor says to stop. So call your doctor and find out what steps you need to take.

So my gut reaction is, call your doctor!

Can you take something else instead of the simvastatin? My doctor has me on fish oil for high cholesterol and triglycerides.

When did you take your last dose of the simvastatin? Would it technically be out of your system before you BD? Given that its a category X my gut reaction is telling you to wait - but I totally see how you don't want to miss an opportunity. I'm gonna circle back to check with your doctor ASAP and see if you can agree on a scenario where you can try this month with the doctors OK.
