I'm off to the docs in an hour or so to ask about going back on the pill. It's been 5 years since I was last on the pill.

Are there any brands on the market that don't cause weight gain?

I'm beginning to lose my baby weight- lost 9lbs so far, and am keen to keep it up as I have 3 stones to lose

Any ideas ladies?

TIA

I have taken both Femodette and Loestrin (both low dose combined). With each I find that there is an almost overnight gain of between 1-2 llbs (probably a bit of extra fluid around boobs/hips), but no more than that and certainly no progressive gain over time or increased appetite. The gain is also reversed almost immediately if/when you stop.

Ooh brilliant! I'll write those names down ready. I don't mind a 1 or 2 lbs weight gain, as long as that's all it is- I'm fat enough already!!!

Thanks for replying.
