Weight and the pill
| Mon, 07-05-2004 - 1:11pm |
I know this has been coming up a lot lately, but I do have to ask. I've been on a diet for over three weeks, changing my eating habits, exercise habits, and water intake. Nothing has worked despite all these changes. Cuold my pill be causing me to retain water or something else pertaining to problems with weight loss. Always, in the past, the method I'm currently using has produced some results. If its a possibility its my pill, I'm definately willing to switch or get off it all together. Thanks for your time.

The studies that have been done concerning hormonal contraceptives and weight gain haven’t found any conclusive link. However, I think some hormones can affect the appetite or how we metabolize foods in some women. Are you seeing any change in your measurements, sliming down while weighing the same? As fat is converted to muscle there may be a delay before you see any weight loss. If you suspect water retention as a possibility then you might want to consider Yasmin which has a progestin that is supposed to reduce water retention. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?
Good luck,
