BCP and weight

Hi ladies,

I stopped taking my BCP about three weeks ago. I had noticed that within that first week off of it, that I looked like I put on some weight, like I was really bloated. I was on Estro-Step for about 18 months and had maintained my weight. So, i have been weighing myself twice per week for the last three weeks and ive put on a few pounds. Has anyone else experienced this? It seems like it happened all of a sudden, so I'm kind of getting worried.

Thanks!

Hi Jill,

A food log is a good idea. And it had occurred to me (and my DH...LOL) that I have been eating more than usual. I've been trying to watch what I've been eating, but I seem to just be hungry all the time. It makes sense that its the hormones and my body is just adjusting.

Thanks for your response!! :)
