Weight gain stopping the pill

Morning all, I’m looking for your stories of coming off the progesterone only pill/mini pill to give me hope!

I’m three weeks in - for the first two weeks I felt much better in myself, much calmer, but I put on 6 pounds in a week. I keep reading about ‘water weight’ but it’s becoming very demoralising as it isn’t shifting 😞 Im exercising 4-6 times a week and reducing the wine but feeling very much like I’m fighting a losing battle. I’m a teacher so I think not being at work may be contributing but I’m still averaging 10000- 12000 steps a day.

On the plus side my resting heart rate is down and heart palpitations have stopped (but again, maybe because I’m on Summer holidays!)

Anyone experience similar?! Please send hope!
