Anyone else gain more weight after going off the birth control pill??



I was on ortho tri cyclen lo for a year but gained 25 lbs and so I went off it and have been off it for about 4 months but I keep gaining weight even though im eating right and exercising...help!!

i have not heard of this, but it's not a huge surprise as hormones can effect weight. although 25lbs is a great deal to gain and to keep gaining when you went off it also does not sound right. i think you should see your doctor and be checked over. there are several medical problems that can cause weight gain. if you are eating a well balanced diet and exercising you really should see your doctor and be evaluted just to be sure.
I stacked on the weight when I went on the pill but it cleared up my pimples so it was worth it to me hehe.

You may still have some of the hormones kicking around causing you to gain weight, I guess all you can do it keep eating right & perhaps take up an extra day of exercisse.
