Has anyone else struggled to lose weight on desogestrel pill? So fed up!

Hi there,
I started this pill last December.
It's been great for stopping periods etc but I have put on about half a stone 😪

I have been trying really hard for five weeks- 1200 cals a day, been to the gym. Cut down on alcohol intake to twice a week and swapped wine for vodka.

And I've managed to put on!

Why can't I lose weight. I feel so uncomfortable- has anyone else had this?
Thanks x

Hi OP,
I am having this exact issue and have only recently started to think it could because of the pill! I’m on cerazette and have gained around half a stone over the past few months!
I’ve trying to stick to 1200 - 1500 calories and I’ve put on lbs too!
It’s so frustrating!
I’m not sure what the answer is but just wanted to let you know you’re not alone! 😊
