BCP and Weight Change
| Fri, 08-27-2004 - 9:58am |
Hi all,
I've been on orthyo-cyclen for some time, and have been very pleased. I have slight weight gain/bloat just before my period, but no other weight gain due to the pill. However, the past few weeks I've been feeling a little chubby despite not greatly changing my eating or exercise habits. No change in my actual weight, I just look and feel chubby/bloated. I just realized, I've also been having problems with my pill. Namely, my prescription didn't arrive in the mail on time so I had to wait a week to start this latest pack, and I missed several pills. Usually the normal bloat goes away as soon as I get my period, but is it possible that it stayed with my b/c the bc hormones haven't been delivered like normal?
