I noticed that when I went off BC, I gained weight (approx 5 lbs). Has anyone else experienced this? I thought it was suppopsed to be the other way around?

Re: BC ?
Well, I know that people say that their breasts got larger once they went on BC (However, that DEFINITELY did not happen with me, lol)
On a side note, I actually have lost 8 pounds in the past 6 weeks. I am a size 4 so I'm not heavy at all...so 8 lbs is a lot for me!!! I haven't even been doing anything out of the norm. I am a teacher so I definitely have been eating more salads this summer for lunch. (I would never make it through a school day on just a salad, though.) I have been drinking a tiny bit more water, but havent had soda in weeks!!! I think that's a big factor, even though I have Sprite Zero during the year, which is supposed to be better. And I exercise 3 times a week...but no more than I do during the school year. I honestly can't figure it out!!! But who's complaining!!! hehe! =)

I lost weight too. I don't eat as much in summer and during school I am always munching on something!

Re: BC ?
I can't say that I have... I'm sure you'll go back to normal soon, maybe its water retention

Re: BC ?
Anytime you mess around with hormones the body reacts..so im sure it will adjust shortly and you'll lose the few pounds you've gained. As was mentioned before, it could also be water retention...try to stay away from salty foods too.

Re: BC ?
hormones do funny things to your body... I gained when I went on to begin with, but when I came off of my BC I gained even MORE weight and it's not like my diet or exercise routine changed for the worse, if anything I exercised more and ate better because losing the weight was SO damn hard.
Honestly, maybe if you've been taking bc for a long time, you may be lacking some nutrient in your body and may need a dietary suppliment to get your digestive system going a little faster.
