… All of a sudden am 20lbs heavier and have to starve myself just to not gain weight and have constant acne. It just sucks. Age factors in, as well as how long it takes for your period to become regular again. I just want my hard work to pay off and also to not have kids or a monster period. They were just so bad.
"Some may resolve in three months; others may take a year," Gohara says. Maybe this type doesn’t work for you. It's just not going anywhere. That’s every single time you have sex, up until menopause.
I had years of feeling awful all the time and once I stopped it became apparent within a few weeks how much of my poor mental health - ED resurgence, anxiety, depression, a complete mental breakdown - could be attributed to the pill. My calories stay between 1200-1400 a day, I was eating around 2300-2400.I feel like I can lose a couple but I can't really lose anything if that makes sense. I ruined hundreds of dollars of jeans and underwear and spent so much money on tampons and pads. I couldn't sleep and I felt terrible all the time. My appetite isn't any higher and I've never read anything about the gut bacteria but its possible. Started it 8 years ago for heavy periods and I shot from 125-160 in a year and then the weight gain has staggered since.
I mitigated this by taking probiotics. This means that about 9 out of every 100 women using the pill will become pregnant each year. Like everyone else is saying, just log everything you eat and if you really are intent on losing weight, purchase a food scale and see how much you really are consuming (calorie-wise). I work out a lot so I’ve been eating superfoods post-workout that suppress my appetite for HOURS (vs before I would be starving from the bc an hour or so after lunch and need snacks). I hope one day I'm fortuante enough to find the right solution.I don’t use hormonal birth control, so I am not familiar with the mechanisms by which it causes weight gain, but I would look into that.I am on psychiatric medications which are notorious for causing weight gain, and I have managed to lose and maintain weight the entire time.
I was miserable and didn't feel like myself, but it snuck up on me over the years I was on it. Started it 8 years ago for heavy periods and I shot from 125-160 in a year and then the weight gain has staggered since.
Consider this your "Dumping on products and excessive scrubbing, exfoliating, or peeling can stoke the fire," Gohara says. It was so embarrassing. It was awful.I do need to go back to the doc though since I moved to a new city and my prescription ends in feb. Hopefully, they'll be more helpful than the last one.RANT INCOMING: I had terrible side effects from being on hormonal BC - it made me super anxious and depressed, which made me want to self-soothe through food. Many women who use birth control believe that weight gain can be a side effect. I'm not putting anything else in my body so my husband doesn't have to wear a condom.
Calorie counting still works for me with all my hormone issues!I have this exact same problem. It sucked. From August to October I gained about 10 lbs and reached 140 lbs.
Idk if it was from going to college or the BC or both but the first time I took it was bad. My roommate has Nexaplon and hasn't had any issues with weight gain, shes actually lost weight, but she can have her period for 3 weeks straight and she can't wait to take it out.At this point I just want to freeze my eggs and have an ovariohysterectomy.
Thanks for the info!Sorry I’m not much of a help because I haven’t taken BC pills in 8 years but I do know that each type of BC pill will have different side effects. My fiance and I used condoms before and after my first run-in with BC.
I went on the pill for just a year then went off. I always figured the hormones affected the metabolism tbh.
I feel like trash.
Modifying my life and my body 24/7 is not worth it for him to get out of wearing a condom 5-10 minutes 2-5 times a week. When you're on oral contraceptives, you're less likely to have cystic acne because hormones — like sebum-stimulating testosterone, as well as progesterone, which gets ovulation going and causes hormonal acne — are suppressed, says New York City-based, board-certified dermatologist Once you stop taking the pill, your body starts producing its own hormones and has to adjust to the spiking levels.
