I am in the EXACT same boat! Literally haven't changed anything except getting off Nuva Ring.. 10lbs heavier in 3-4 months. And my face keeps breaking out :( I got off of it in March so that in May we could start trying to conceive, I just cannot stand the way I look right now... No idea what to do.

Have you gotten a full blood work done? I did and mine came back with Vitamin D deficiency. I read through the thread and that seems to be the case for some of the other women as well. Since getting my results, I've been taking Vitamin D supplements and I'm seeing changes. Not necessarily on the scale, but physically. Hope this helps!

I have been off the pill (Yaz) for about 2 months and have gained about 15 pounds, super bloated (which gets worse throughout the day), can barely fit my clothes and I'm always tired. I didn't change my diet and went on a smoothie diet for 2 weeks and was picking up weight and only had a homemade smoothie for lunch and fruits (minimal calories) and continued cardiovascular and lifting. I have had normal blood work and a normal CT scan of abdomen. My primary doctor told me on a Monday that my estrogen levels could be out of whack. I just started taking the pill again so hopefully my body will go back to normal and so I am not always exhausted!! Will keep you posted regarding restarting pill and getting this weight off. I currently feel like a blow fish...swollen and puffy.

hi - i have a similar situation as you - i am 31 - and stopped BeYaz 2 months ago because my husband and i want to try and get pregnant. Since then i have gained 10 lbs. i also am being treated for Hashimotos disease. I have never weighed this much -i am now a size 4 (used to be size 0 or 2). Have you figured something out?

I had a doctor put me on Yaz around '08. I took it for about 6 mos, and after an acquaintance had a stroke on it and another had a PE and died, I came off. I ballooned 142 in just a few months. I was miserable. I started tracking what I ate, 1000 to 1200 calories a day, in a diary. I walked several miles on a treadmill every single day. I was able to get down somewhere around 125 lbs or so after months and months and months of doing this. I went back on the pill (Portia/Nordette) and the weight fell off and never came back. I went off the pill and have had four cycles since then. I wanted to give it time to stabilize. It didn't. I have gained 7 lbs in those four months. I lift weights, do cardio, run 2-3 times a week and train for half-marathons. I'm a very healthy eater. I had no choice but to go back on this past Sunday. I'm almost 39 years old and hate to be on them, but my doc says that, since I'm healthy and active and don't smoke, I can take them as long as I want. We'll see. I promise I will post back here again in a couple of months to let you know how I'm doing.

This happened to me, but more like 30 lbs. I would wake up with a flat stomach, and after eating breakfast, I'd look like I'd put on about 15 pounds of fat around my middle. It was disgusting. I could pick it up and squeeze it around like Silly Putty. I just started the pill again four days ago. We'll see what happens.

Hi! Has anyone had any success at all in losing weight gained by stopping the pill? I suddenly started putting on 1.5kgs after each period cycle and now I'm up 10kgs and it just won't budge! I have been off the pill for 6 months and have been eating so clean and really looking after myself and nothing seems to work, I am covered in this "squishy" fat that has an appearance of cellulite? I actually went to another dr and got a script for tax and am planning on restarting as it's the only thing I can pinpoint that would be causing this! Please I would really appreciate if anyone had any tips at all or success stories. Thanks xx

Hi! How are you now after being back on the pill? Any change? I'm suffering with the exact same symptoms and have been off the pill for 6 months but I'm about to go back on it tomorrow as I'm so so fed up with being so bloated and tired!

It took a few months, but I took good care of myself: drinking plenty of water, good sleep, etc , and my body finally went back to normal. I just had to wait for my body to get used to regulating on its own - I bet yours will too.. hang in there! I was on the pill for 15 years! Hugs!
