Did anybody lose a significant amount of weight after coming off contraception? I had the implant for about two and a half years, then when I had it removed I went on the pill for three months, but I stopped taking it when I had a pregnancy scare and didn't start again cos I felt much better. So I haven't taken any hormonal contraceptives for nearly a year.
At the time I stopped taking it, I weighed about 9.5 stone. About 5 or 6 months ago I noticed I was starting to lose weight, and at this stage I've lost about a stone. I am not exercising any more than I used to, and I'm eating pretty much the same. In other words, I'm not making an effort to lose weight, but its happening anyway. I haven't lost any more weight over the last month or so, but I don't know if that is because we have been eating a ridiculous amount of sweets and chocolate in work, so I've been picking at stuff all day, as well as eating my normal meals.
Has anyone else lost a bit of weight after coming off contraception? My clothes don't fit me properly anymore, they are getting too lose, and friends and family have commented that I don't need to lose any more weight. If I was dieting, I'd be delighted, but its worrying me a bit that its unintentional weight loss. I've been having trouble with my stomach for the last week so I am going to the doctors in the next few days, and will tell him about this, but was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
