Weight Gain From Birth Control

I am absolutely in love with my birth control, seasonique, but I cannot loose any weight while taking this medication! I do not want to switch because I like the benefits this gives me compared to other options. Any suggestions here? I am shooting in the blind with this topic but I am sure I am not the only women with this problem! Smiley Happy

I would ask your DR. Its been years for me taking them. But I do remember it was very hard at first to lose but then once the body got use to taking them it came off. It did take a while there.

 

But ask your DR for some suggestions

I'm no expert, but my impression is that getting off of birth control can be associated with rapid weight gain.

Not to mention unusual food cravings and nausea upon waking.

I would log every bite, weigh and measure portion/serving and not eat out for a month.  Find some sort of program that works with your lifestyle so you have a balanced way of eating.  If you have soda or diet soda or drink alcohol, stop for 30 days.

 

If nothing happens scale wise in that 30 days, you will have a good log for your doctor to review. Mostly though people underestimate what they eat and overestimate the benefit of activity.
