weight gain when going off BC?
I went off BC about 3 months ago since my H and I are TTC. Ever since
then I've realized my weight has steadily been creaping up, about 5 -7
lbs. Now don't get me wrong I realize it's not that much weight, but for
someone like me who has pretty much weighed the same for the past ten
years or so, it's kind of odd. My diet
and exercise regimen hasn't changed. If anything, we moved out of the
city and into the suburbs and we eat and drink out WAY less often now.
I also feel very bloated and even some of my pants feel super tight. Jeans I fit into a few months ago, and have worn for the past few years, are now hard to button. I was on yasmin, which I know has a diuretic in it, so I was thinking maybe it's water retention. Of course google made me paranoid I have ovarian cancer, bc these are also symptoms of that (i'm a little neurotic as it is lol).
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not that concerned about the weight gain, just hoping this is normal.
