Getting off of the BC pill

Todd&LauraTodd&Laura
in Trying to Get Pregnant
I'm buying my last pack of bc pills (ever, I hope!!) this month so that I can get off of them and start trying.  I'm also trying to lose weight before having a baby...my BMI is 29.65 and I want to get it to a healthier level.  When I stop taking the BC pill, will some of the weight that I gained as a result of starting BC come off?  I'm hoping it will, but am not sure if stopping the pill will be enough to get rid of the little bit of weight that came on when I started.

    According to most BCP websites they do not cause weight gain. That being said, this is my first cycle of BCP after 10+ years and while I haven't lost weight according to the scale I am a lot less bloated and my clothes fit better.

    But as with all things BCP related, everyone is different.

    when I got off BC the weight I gained while on it did not just "come off" ?I had to work really hard to get it off, and keep it off. ?Hopefully it's easier for you. GL!

    I actually gained weight after coming off the pill and I didn't gain when I got on it.

    I gained about 7 to 10 lbs. when I went on BCP (both times!) but did not lose any when I went off it.  I had to do that the hard way with diet and excersise...bummer.  Hope it works better for you!

    BCP mostly causes water weight if anything, so don't get your hopes up :(

    I lost weight when I went on the pill all those years ago.

    I gained when I came off it.   Suckage.

    Best way to lose weight: Eat less, move more.

    I lost 50lbs by following the principles of South Beach and going to the gym 3-4 times a week.  It's whatever healthy eating plan works for you combined with what exercise works for you though. GL!
