Hi did you go back on the pill? I had the implant out 6 weeks ago and have ballooned :-( so I've gone into the mini pill today in the hope that I can get some weight off. Have you gone back on the pill? Thank you .

Omg..... this is exactly me!!! Came off the pill about 5 months ago and I've put on weight, maybe about half a stone.... my clothes are all tight and I've got spots all round my jawline. My moods have been up and down lately as well. Did you find any resolve???

hi there!! how did you go in the end?? I am in the same boat as you. went off the pill 9 months ago. had the bloating had the weight gain and the missing period for about 5 months. After this is was the same and seemed like withdrawal bleeding. Only really have had the first real period this month and seem to be losing weight. Doing hard ass workouts daily along with runs and weights. (I've never worked this hard in my life to get weight off) So I am hopeful as I have a holiday in two months I want to look good for (or a baby belly) Im hoping you have some good news!!

You too? OMG...I haven't been this heavy since I was pregnant 14 years ago. I thought going off the Pill made you thinner, not fatter! This sucks.

I was just wondering if anyone that put weight on after coming off of the pill went back on the pill? I am in the same position and I really need this weight to go, I have tried everything and before I found it really hard to put on weight..
Has anybody found that by going back on the pill the weight went?

Yes I went back on it and my weight went back to normal. I stopped it again about 3 months ago and the bloating and weight gain has returned. I'm devastated!

Thank you so much for sharing. I went off the pill 1.5 months ago - after 16 years - and have gained 7 pounds. I excercise regularly and have not changed my eating habits at all, if anything I am eating healthier because I am trying to drop the weight. I am so thankful that I found this thread since doctors all say it is ''impossible'' that stopping the pill can lead to weight gain and I was feeling very alone and confused. Anyway, your detailed story makes me feel like there is hope and that maybe I wont need to wear leggings for the rest of my life since I am so bloated nothing else fits. Thanks to everyone for sharing!

I have been on the pill since teenager. Came off when I was trying for my daughter. And then after her birth I went back on it. I don't think I put on any excessive weight while I was on the pill. But I decided to come off the pill two years ago in order to 'give my body a break' but I have started putting on weight, especially in the lower tummy. I don't think I have been eating any more than usual, or eating any excessive junk food and I lead a very active life esp with a disabled child.

I have been on the pill for over a year and I haven’t had any periods, which is great obviously! However I have lost allot of weight due to being on the pill. I’ve lost a total of 1.5stone.... shall I come off the pill?

I have exactly the same symptoms. I didn’t realise it was the pill until I read this post.
The bloating was horrible and embarrassing, although that did go after about 3 weeks. The weight gain has been awful though. About a stone and a half in 3 months. I’ve cut out crisps, chocolate and biscuits for about 2 months now and still my weight is going up (approx 1lb each week now).
I’m not too sure about the mood swings as I do have a stressful job so that affects me and I have learnt ways to deal with it.
Sorry ladies (why don’t men have such problems!) I’m hot footing it back onto the pill as I have a holiday in August but I’m not sure what I’m going to do in the long run.....

I'm so glad I found this thread because I've been going mad thinking I might be pregnant!
I came off the Gedarel pjll in January (6 months ago) in order to give my body a break. I didn't have any problems for the first few months all was well.. but then my skin started getting worse which I kind of expected and could deal with.. but in the past month out of nowhere my skin has gone super oily and my hair super greasy and I've put on so much weight around my middle! I've never been this heavy and am eatng/exercising more than ever like others said! So weird! Also haven't had my period in god knows how long..think ive had 2 or 3 in 6 months
My predicament now is
I have a 6 week backpacking trip coming up next month so my first thought was to jump back on the pill jusy to see if it will iron things out for a bit and make things easier and more enjoyable while I'm away.. but it's only going to all happen again when i come back off it!
I might try this vitex thing people are talking about.. has anyone had any luck with it? Or water retention tablets? Worried it might be PCOS also after one person commented!

Has anyone GAINED weight after stopping the pill? I was on it for 18 years and now I just can't drop the 10 lbs I gained since I got off.
