6 pounds?

in Trying to Get Pregnant
I got on the scale this morning and have gained six pounds in less than a week.  I could also barely get my rings on today.  Clearly I'm retaining water like crazy.  And my hair is greasy.  And I'm breaking out.  Being off of the pill really messes with your body!  Vent over.

    Sad sorry! It took me about 4 months for my body to regulate again after going off the pill.

    YES! The breaking out and weight gain was a shock for me too. I expected a little something, but enough is enough! I try to drink a TON of water to combat the water retention, but I hear you! GL Big Smile

    Isn't weight gain usually a symptom of being ON the pill?  If I have to put up with the breaking out, I'd at least like to lose a few pounds.  Is that so much to ask? Wink

    All of this is exactly why H and I have agreed that I will not be returning to the pill, even after babies. (If we're fortunate enough to have babies.)

    There's just something about pumping a daily dose of artificial hormones into my body that doesn't sit well with me.

    I hear you! Bloating, cramping, weight gain, breaking out! Being on the pill sucked and getting off of it sucks. I defiantly won't go back on them after we have kids :)

    Sucks, right?  It's been no fun since I've been off the pill.  As my husband so nicely noticed recently, I now have "back-ne"  (back acne).  Even as a teen I had no problems breaking out.  Gotta love what those damn hormones do to your body.

    Also strange?  My appetite has completely disappeared but I'm bloated all the time and have gained weight.  Ugh.

    Totally know your pain.  I've been working out like crazy since my shorts from last summer DON'T FIT!! I gained 10 lbs and I feel trapped, I just can not get rid of it.  I'm also breaking out all over my freakin' face like a 13 year old boy.  I don't think I'll ever go back on BC again either, which kinda sucks.

    THANK YOU.  I am a greasy bloated nasty mess.  I'm so glad somebody else is going through this too.
