i started bc like 5 days ago...and noticed a little weight loss. i heard some people lose weight or gain it, have wrose ance or better, whathave you guys experienced on it?
i usually gain weight while taking the pill but it really depends on your body and what pill you are taken. i wouldn't mind finding a pill to help me lose weight, what kind do you use?
I have experienced both gaining and losing. I have tried severl different pills since I started taking BC. I found that on Minerva and particularly Loette I gained weight. I switched over to Yasmin this past month and I found that I have actally lost weight on it, and I'm not on any diets or anything so it has to be that. I find that it is also supressing my appetite a bit (aside from the weight loss) as I just don't seem inclined to eat that much. But I was already loosing weight before I noticed the suppressed appetite. The weight loss is nothing drastic, but I have definitely noticed a difference. Too bad it seems to have so many other side effects for me otherwise I would stay on it! Will stick it out for another few months and see.
i'm on novum and i lost weight like crazy a total of 12 pounds. but it really depends on what type of motabolism you already have cause i was on depo-provera before an lost weight to. these days i can eat all the time which i do and not gain a pound which i actually am trying to do
On the first pill I was on, I gained about 10 lbs, but on this new one I've lost that weight, and 1 or 2lbs extra. Which is nice. But It really depends on which pill you're taking. There are some that I know one of my friends had to stop taking because she just wasn't hungry at all, and lost a lot of weight, and for her size, just wasn't healthy. If you ever gain or lose a LOT of weight while on the pill, you should let your doctor know.
I've been on tons of b/c..most of them I gained mad weight on and my acne got worse. My birth control I'm using now has cleared up my acne and I've lost some weight.
on ortho tri cycolyn-lo, I lost a bit of weight to start with, but my slovenly habits soon put a stop to that. My acne has cleared up tremendously though.
I've been taking Yasmin for a month and a half and in three weeks i gained twelve pounds, sucky. I feel like Yasmin totally fugged with my appetite and my thyroid but I'm giving it three cycles to see if it levels out. Some people are telling me this is just water weight but I say bollocks.
I lost a bit of weight, and I've heard that this is normal. A bonus for me though: My boobs got bigger o-O.
I've been taking LO/OVRAL for the past 3 months and haven't gained a pound. I've been losing weight. For a while I thought about getting the shot but since I'm not gaining any weight from the pills, which are definitely working, I'm just going to stick with them. My only problem with pills is that I forget to take them sometimes. There's been many times that I've forgotten to take it and would take 2 the next day.. Luckily everything so far has been alright.. I'm not used to putting ANY kind of pills in my body and especially on a daily basis. I don't even like taking Tylenol unless I have to. It's kind of frustrating sometimes but I'd rather be safe than sorry.. I used to say I didn't want to be on any kind of BC for fear of gaining weight, but weight gain comes with pregnancy.. So, I decided I'd rather take a chance at having a little weight gain as opposed to weight gain and a new baby.
I lost weight at first and then after 6 months my hips got HUGE and I gained it back. I evened out. I'm on Ortho Tri Cyclen LO
water-retention is normal when you first start, yasmin or yaz is supposed to be a diuretic so you dont. im on ortho-micronor, progestrin only and it makes me break out and tend to be moodier than normal. i just get really bad headaches from estrogen so i gots to be safe and take this. also, to remember to take my pill each day, i set my cellphone to go off at a certain time everyday. helps me out.
I was on Ovcon 35 last year (a low dose) and I didn't experience any weight gain at all. In fact, it was that year that I shed 10 pounds. Was nice!
btw... i take nortrel 7/7/7 and my weight keeps pretty normal... just a bit or water retention here and there.
do all pills make you moody or less horny? If they dont then how often do they have these side effects, i mean is it very common?
I didn't really see a change in my weight, but I had also just started a hardcore weight loss regimen. My ta's got HUGE though. I'm on Orthotricyclen-lo. I kinda want to switch over to Yaz, them commercials got me, 'cause I think I have PMDD to the max. My friend takes it, and her tatters got absolutely gigantic. How's Yaz workin' for everybody?
