After coming off of BC...
Do you loose weight - the weight you gained from the BC? --because I would like to loose.
When taking Prentals, do you gain weight? Do they make you eat?
Is there a specific time of day to take your Prentals, like with the BC? --Mine only say: take on an empty stomach and drink plenty of water.

Re: After coming off of BC...
Can't answer on BC never been on it really. But prenatals are just a multivitamin with extra folic acid. they do not affect your appetite. I take it at night because thats the easiest for me to remember. They bother some peoples stomachs so I think thats why people take them at night too

Re: After coming off of BC...
I actually gained when I came off.... about 4 lbs. It came off gradually.... I was on Yasmin and it was actually one of the side effects I found out about after coming off!!!
Not very logical... gain when you go on and gain when you go off... I suppose it has to do with the hormone fluxes.....

Re: After coming off of BC...
I had been on BCPs so long that I couldnt attribute a weight gain of more than a couple of pounds to being on the pill. After a while, I had to say, "Honey, the pill didnt make you eat that cake!" I am only off the pill for about 2 weeks or so and havent noticed any loss yet.
As for the vitamins, I take my folic acid in the morning before I eat only because I was conditioned after so many years to take any and all medications then. I guess it was good for me to replace the pill with the folic acid.

Re: After coming off of BC...
I was on Yasmin too - and gained when I went off it - probably b/t 5-7lbs.  Oh well, if we're TTC - might as well get used to the weight gain!

Re: After coming off of BC...
I lost weight coming off BCPs. I was at a 10 year low, right before I got preggo.
I didn't gain weight taking prenatals, other than once I was pg.

Re: After coming off of BC...
No. My hormones have been out of wack. But I also haven't gained anything either.

Same here.
I don't believe prenatals cause you to gain or lose weight, its just a vitamin with extra folic acid.
