Very frustrated and wondering about weight gain

I just went off the pill last month. I hated being on it. We are not TTC, just wanted to see if it would help with my anxiety.

Last week I noticed my weight was creeping up...I decided to chart points strictly everyday, drink lots of water and go to the gym..I ran 5 days this week and am feeling good..

However. I have not lost one stinking pound OR ounce for that matter. I may actually weight a bit more...

Could it be pms bloating?? Or did anyone else ever gain temporarily when stopping the pill?? I cramped horribly all month, it just stopped..

Sigh..just frustrated. I expected to be down 2 lbs this week. NOPE. Any advice???

Re: Very frustrated and wondering about weight gain

when I stopped the pill back in 2008, because I was TTC I started gaining weight and felt horribly bloated(looked bloated too) it was a few months after my wedding and someone at work actually asked me if I was pregnant. I felt better a couple of cycles after stopping the pill and lost most of the pounds I gained but right after that I got pregnant, not everyone is the same but I believe it takes a couple of months for your body and hormones to stabilize again.

Also my PMS ad bloating was worse after stopping the pill. Even after I had the baby, I never went back in the pill and my PMS its worse and I can gain 3-4 pounds about a week before my period until the first or second day of my period

Re: Very frustrated and wondering about weight gain

Could be PMS. When I was on the pill, I always lost weight when I had my period - I think it was because there was no medication in my system. When I went off the pill in August, I noticed I now weigh more when I have my period. Maybe you are having the same issue.
