Any one come off the pill after being on it for a while?...

Hey

Was just wondering if there were any girls that have come off the pill, after being on it for a while.... if so did you find you put weight on very quickly?

I am freaking out i have put on like 4lb all of a sudden.
Got me so stressed i have been on a huge bike ride with OH, we cycled for about 4 miles.

Hey babe

It was the opposite for me, in the 4 months I was off the pill I lost nearly a stone without even trying. I lost my appetite totally when I came off it, have you found youve been more hungry? xxx

I've been off the pill since 14th June, so too early to comment. I really hope I'm in the lose weight category as I could do with shedding some pounds!

Snap Hobnob! Been off a few weeks (after 13 years), but piled on the pounds (actually stones) since getting married two years ago. Would love it if helped me to lose weight - but then again, some more exercise and better diet might help. Will be doing that too to benefit baby when the time comes (TTC September)

Yep, guilty as charged too! I need to pull my finger out as we're going to be TTC in Dec 09.

i've put on weight since I went on the pill three years ago, am hoping coming off it will have the opposite effect but who knows!

i stayed the same too but i have heard of people gaining weight and losing weight when they came off..much like the answers on the board!

I came off it June 1st and I have put on 4 kilos and it's made a big difference to my stomach. It's not fair, I gained weight going on the pill...and now more coming off it. Mind you, it's coincided with a trip back home to the Uk where I always eat a lot - the foods I miss and a few business meeting which have involved HUGE big meals. I started on salads, fruits and pulses again this week so hopefully it'll go soon. Fingers crossed.
