Should I get off of birth control so i can get back to my pre-pregnancy weight??


I have never been on the birth control pill until after I have my first baby, at my 6 week post-partum my dr prescribed Loestrin. I feel like I was losing weight just fine until I started the pill. Also, I feel like i get upset really easy, frustrated and impatient and at times depressed. i still have not been able to lose the last 10-12 pounds that i need in order to be back at my pre-preg weight. i am thinking its the bc pills. i am wondering if it would be easier to lose weight if I get off the pill. Just for awhile, while i get back into shape and then get back on them while continuing to work out, etc. Has anyone ever gotten off bc pill and seen it easier to lose weight??

Change pills. I had the same problem with getting frustrated, angry, and depressed all the time. I switched to Ortho-Novum 10/11 and I feel myself again. I lost over 30 pounds before while on the pill. So ,it really doesn't make a difference that you're on them.
Good luck
I thought getting off the Pill would help me lose - don't be fooled. It has not made a bit of difference.
