weight gain question

Did anyone gain weight after going off bcp? What about when on prenatals? This is my first full month off bcp and on prenatals (Citracal- calnate), and I have definitely gained weight! I feel and look gross and I don't know if it is a possible side effect, or if I have just gotten fat!!! It is like huge stomach bloat! Has this happened to anyone? TIA!

oh no....I am going off this month, and I was JUST thinking to myself, ohh, maybe I will lose weight.

The prenatals may have an adverse effect if they are "backing you up". Other than that, I am not sure!

I definitely gained weight, but I also quit smoking at the same time so I'm sure it's a combination of both or maybe even just the smoking. I didn't start prenatals right away so I don't think they had any effect on me. I started with CVS prenatals and they didn't bother me at all. Once I got my BFP I went on a RX prenatal and they "backed me up" for about a week and then I guess my body adjusted.

Re: weight gain question

I went off BC in March. Within the first 2 weeks I had gained close to 15 pounds. I know my eating habits didnt change and that my workout routine was exactly the same!! After the first month, I lost about 9 of it (it looked like extreme water weight), but the remaining 6 lbs are just lingering!! I also started prenatals around the same time, but never thought that they might be why?
I have been doing a lot of research on this, and am finding that it's a really common issue when woman stop bc though!!!
This will definitely influence me from ever going back on bc!!! Chat Icon

Re: weight gain question

I've been on weight watchers since the end of January, went off BCP's mid Febuary, I have lost almost 15 lbs since.

I haven't read that weight gain follows cessation of BCP's but I think any change in your body's chemistry could do that.

Re: weight gain question

I def. gained and I hate it b/c there doesn't seem to be much I can do about it. I'm up 10lbs since the wedding (October) and I went off the pill in December. I don't even mind the number on the scale b/c I was probably underweight, but I am not happy with the way my clothes feel and I REFUSE to buy a new wardrobe. Besides the weight, I breakout more often which NEVER used to happen. Ahh, isn't great to be a woman?!
