coming off the pill query

[princesscallie]

Hi all,

I came off the pill the middle of January. Was taking yasmin for the last 15 mths (since I had my dd). However I am experiencing unexplained weight gain since I have stopped taking it.

It happened to me about 3yrs ago too when I came off it as we had decided to ttc but I ended up going back on it after about 3mths because I got depressed with the weight gain. i came off it again about 6mths later and then I was fine. No side effects at all.

What I'm wondering is has anyone else experienced this after coming off the pill?? My diet isn't too bad..lots of fruit and I walk 2 miles about five times a week and also run 5k three times a week..

TIA for replying..

No sorry, I was on microgynon for a couple of years as a teenager, then cilest for about 8 years and the finally Yasmin for 2 years. I never had any symptoms coming off them but it did take me 6 months to start ovulating once I started ttc.

I came off marvel on last june and put on weight very quickly after.
Have gone up 1 or 2 dress sizes in that time and have cut down considerably on food intake and increased exercise with no helpful results
