ive been taking this pill since i was coming up 16, before i took it i was a size 8 in clothes, but i noticed that throughout the years i am now 23 now ive started putting on weight, i eat healthy and exerise but the weight still comes on, i decided to come off this pill about 2 weeks ago. since i have not taken this pill ive been losing weight, ive lost over a stone and it keeps dropping off. does anyone know the reson for this, or has taken this pill and has it happened to them. i read a story on the net that a woman was trying ther hardest to lose a couple of pounds but they wouldnt come off. she forgot to take the pill she lost the pounds and then when she went back on the pill she put the pounds back on.

i was on that pill last year and it was the worst one id been on it made me put on lots of weight and made me depressed and lazy, so i switched to celeste but thats not much better im changing it again this week. just have a chat with your doctor and find the right pill for your body, its just the hormones that are effected by the pill that cause it. but yeh i do think the pill makes women put on weight

Yes I have had the exact same results. I went on the pill when I was 15 and have just come off it at the age of 22. I didn't see a huge rise in my weight so put it down to my body metabolism changing but now the weight seems to be falling off me! I was taking the exact same pill as you mentioned although I have heard similar stories about other ones. I recently tried to start taking it again but have found that my body can no longer tolerate it and it knocks me sick. I've always normally been fine with it but I suppose my body has changed.

If she has merely all started I actually doubt she will be on her era from the 18th of each and each month. the prospect is it will be very abnormal and so there is not any indication she will be on her era on her vacation. i do not imagine the healthcare specialist might want to have a difficulty with prescribing the pill to a twelve 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous - i become offered a determination of the pill or a hormonal pill at 12 to modify my era - yet this become for lengthy time period regulation. that is properly worth asking the healthcare specialist although. i really do discourage you from telling the healthcare specialist that the pill is for you - it would want to really disillusioned the hormones which isn't strong for a twelve 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous. they might prescribe her some thing else that could regulate the era - because of her age and the fast-time period purpose. there are various differing forms of the pill, and age is a component at the same time as the healthcare specialist chooses it. also - the pill can take various months to modify your era besides, so it would want to no longer unavoidably artwork the way you want it to. i'm no longer effective that is even criminal to provide your prescription to some different person. i do no longer understand the way you received't enable her use tampons - yet you'll provide her your prescription - which will be really risky.

I am now 43 and took microgynon from the age of 17 to 29. I gradually put weight on taking this pill, (not as much as when I was pregnant though) I also lost weight when I came off it, although nothing too drastic.

This has long been debated that the pill can make you gain weight, the short answer is, that some people will gain weight on the pill and others wont. I took it for a while and never gained any and neither has my daughter.
If in doubt speak to your nurse at the Family Planning Clinic and see if they can recommend anything else.

Side effects differ from woman to woman. I used to take this Pill, never put on any weight, I wish I would have as I am far too skinny for my liking! ;-)
Hormones are to blame, you take them with that Pill and they affect your weight, sex drive, mood etc.. You just have to find the right Pill or stop taking it altogether as I have done, - it's not good for you!

Always have vegetables on side. Saute a big bag regarding frozen mixed vegetables in coconut oil and garlic. Add some red pepper as well as turmeric for additional flavor as well as separate into portion-sized containers for your fridge.

Are your dishes too big? A healthy dinner should fit over a 9-inch plate. You may see that kid-sized plates are more appropriately sized to feed a grown-up!

Distracted dining will get you in trouble. Avoid eating when in front of a television or in a cinema, as you're bound to take in more calories.
