Have any of you gained weight while taking this?? I'm eating healthy and exercising but can't lose a thing! I did some research and I'm wondering if this is the reason.

    Hrm, I haven't lost any weight since 2 weeks PP, but I always thought it was my body holding onto weight while BFing. Hard to say because I didn't lose any weight from weeks 2-6 PP, and then went on the mini pill and then continued to not lose weight. Could be anything but I have a lot to lose and it's very frustrating!

    Many people don't lose weight while bf because the body holds onto a fat store in case of famine... If you are in that boat, then usually when you wean the baby you will also drop a bunch of pounds too.
    Some people are lucky and lose it while nursing.

    I've considered this but I haven't only retained my pregnancy but gained some!! I'm counting calories and working out. I lost a bunch after I had the baby but have gained a good chunk back. So I'm going to stop taking it or awhile and see if it makes a difference. Crossing my fingers!

    You may also want to check with your doctor to rule anything else out...

    i already checked to see if I'm pregnant if thats what you mean. LOL. But seriously I did leave a message at my drs office because I've never gained this much weight in such a short time period.. Hopefully they have some answers.

    No, not pregnancy. Sudden unusual weight gain can be a symptom of some other issues , which is why I asked if you'd checked with your doctor. Good luck.

     You were right! I'm being tested for an under active thyroid. I'm glad I ended up calling the dr. Thanks!!
