My question is that people always say that you gain weight when you start using birth control, but mine is different. I never gained any weight at all when I started but now that im off of it I have had a rapid weight gain, but not pregant, I have checked! Is that normal?

I was only on the pill 3 months, as I have said in other posts. But I did experience weight gain after I quit, but not while I was on it. I gained about 8 pounds after stopping. I'm not sure if it was that or I just ate more haha - hope this helps
