Hey... I was thinking about going off the patch...is it true that once you get off of BC you lose weight? This patch was terrible, yea it protected me against pregnancy but I always get nauseated when i first put it on and i gained 16 lbs in 6 months. I really hated it. So can you tell me if you lose weight, when you get off of it? Thanks girls!

I was on OTC for 5 months and gained as much weight as you did, it was horrible. I went off of it ASAP and eventually lost the weight. Don't think it's going to come off over night though. It took me about a year to fully shed all of the excess weight. Although, I'm sure if you excersise/diet regularly, it would not take as long.
