Weight Gain from BC Pill - has it happened to you?

Post by allydist »

Hi all,

Thank you for checking out post. I just wanted some advice/stories of athletes' experiences with weight gain on the pill. I have been on the pill, low dose, 1.5mg since August 2014. I am 27 years old. I have gained 15 lb since starting, seemingly in thighs and hips - it's not a muscle mass weight, it's flabby and fatty. I am an active runner and find this quite irritating. This is the most I have ever weighed in life, and I have kept fitness and diet levels the same over the course of 8 mo. I've been on the pill.

I read countless articles telling me there is no scientific evidence supporting anything but temporary weight gain while on the pill. Very confusing.

I can't find any other link to the weight gain in lifestyle except the BC pill. If anything, I am running faster, harder, to try to lose this darn weight.

Thoughts? Any women experience this as well?

Thank you!! :sunshine:
