I am on the combined pill (Rigevidon) to regulate my periods. I don't really use it as a contraceptive as prefer to use barrier method as well to be doubly safe!
I had a message today from the GP saying they wanted to know my current weight "because the pill can increase this". I thought that was just a rumour and not really true? Anyway, I have gained weight since I started taking it, but thought it was coincidence. I've had a bit of a stressful time with work lately (now sorted thankfully) and thought that was the culprit.
I'm going to the gym a lot and am planning to start having Huel to help with weight control. But should I also stop taking the pill? My blood pressure is fine and it's helping so much with periods, but if I'm going to fecking balloon then I'll stop it and think again.
Anyone had similar? Did stopping the pill help?
