I've been on the pill for many years. I'm almost 30 and my husband and I have decdided to have a baby. Everyone has been commenting that I've lost weight...even the men at work have commented. For me, this is usually a red flag to those around me because of my ongoing battle with anorexia. Honestly though, I've been recovering for atleast 5 years. I just keep telling everyone that it's because I got off the pill. Has anyone else lost weight after getting off the pill? I'd say I've shed about 10 lbs...5'4 usually 120, now 110 on a small frame. Sounds normal to me. Is everyone else over reacting about the weight loss?

OK, I'm a guy but I have a lot of women friends and several girlfriends that have been on the pill, and I have never talked to ANY woman that did not put on 5-10 lbs when they went on the pill, and a drop similar amount when they went off. It's perfectly normal, it's just the hormones.

I read that a lot of people GAIN weight after going off of the pill.
Unintentional weight loss could be a sign of many things though. If you lost that 10lbs over a short period of time I suggest you go see a doctor so they can examine you to find out if it's more than just going off of the pill.

Yes I did as well. I had been on bc pills for 9 years and quit taking them to get pregnant and also lost from 103lbs down to 96lbs in a matter of probably 2-3 weeks. I just noticed one day that my dress pants were really loose and everyone at work made the same comments to me, as I was already thin to begin with. I guess they just make you retain water or something. Good luck to you and your husband!

you sound just like me. im also 5'4 but even smaller. when i was on the pill i got to about 110-112. then i went off of it for just two months and went down to 104, and people were asking why i looked so skinny. i even realized it myself and didnt like the feeling. so i went back on it and the weight is slowly comin back now. but yes, the weight comes off when going off the pill. its nice that your friends are concerned though but just let them know that it was the effects of the pill, and you are really not trying to do anything to hurt
