Hi all,

I will be ttc in April 2004. Went off BC Patch Sept 30 as, I want lots of charting data to time for a girl. Not to mention, I have a fundimntal averson to every BC method I try...but thats antoher story.

Since going off the patch I have been very HUNGRY and have gained between 5 and 8 lbs! We are not amused!!! Has this happened to anyone? If so, did the weight come back off naturally? I thought BCP made you gain hence going off would make you lose. It is fall and I normally gain about 2 lbs. this time of year. YIKES!

Best,

Amy

I have just gone through the same thing. I have gained about 10 pounds since I have gotten off BCP. I was wondering the same thing. Very frustrated about it myself.
