1st PP AF - PCOS girls some BCP ?'s

in Success after IF

I was just trying to figure out how many abbreviations I could use in a post title haha!!!

Anyways - I got my period today and I am shocked - I never got it - always had to use provera to get it.  Anyways, my OB gave me BCP's and I guess I'm fine with them - I DO NOT want to get PG right now (oh the irony) - but I'm wondering how they might affect my weight loss. 

Did you find that BCP's helped you with your weight issues (if you have PCOS weight issues) or did they make it more difficult or is it a wash?

On the bright side I'm actually happy that my body did it's own thing for once.  I seriously Haven't gotten a period on my own since the cycle before my miscarriage in March of 07 - holy crap that's a long a$$ time!

    i can not lose weight unless i'm on BCP - so i'll be going back on it once  I wean the twins - same thing I did with DS.

    when i'm NOT on bcp i gain weight- no matter what I do... so for me- it's always going to be BCP.  I even considered getting my tubes tied after the c/s with the twins- but realized i still needed bcp for weight/pcos control, so i'm not giong to do that.

    forgot to mention- when i went off BCP to TTC #2 I got two normal periods- which i NEVER had my whole life... so giving birth does seem to change things!

    I might have been able to get pg on my own - but went right to the RE to TTC#2 anyway- since I didn't want to waste time and risk another m/c, since I m/c the one time i got pg on my own before.

    I obviously haven't had my baby yet, but I just wanted to say when I first came off the pill when we were TTC, I gained about 20lbs within 2-3 months. My weight's usually pretty steady, so it was quite a shock. I think the BCPs did help to keep my weight down.
