I recently just got off of low-ogestrel. I "thought" it was okay until I realized I gained 20 lbs in about 9 months. I am VERY cautious about what I eat and exercise daily. 30 min resistance training, 40 min aerobics. This weight was not coming off.
I recently went to my doctor to get blood work, as they thought I might be pre-diabetic or have a thyroid problem. As usual the blood tests came back perfect.
My only other option was to see my gyno. I just got switched to yasmin and have been taking it almost 2 weeks. I really don't notice any side effects or differences. Maybe slight headache here and there. He told me this should help with some of my water weight. I notice anymore a couple days before my period, I get BEYOND bloated. I mean I cant even fit into ANY of my pants for about 3-4 days I have that much water weight. The whole ordeal is getting just overly frustrating. No matter what I do I cannot lose this weight.
Anyone had an easier time maintaining a good weight/ losing weight easier on yasmin after switching from a different bc pill?
