Birth control and weight loss

alexistexas33

Hello! I began my journey in January of 2015 and all the way up until June I had lost a total of 51 pounds.
Due to unforeseen circumstances I could not get birth control and have been off of it since June.
I have also hit two major plateaus during that time (even with changing absolutely everything up from work out to diet to calories) and nothing has seemed to work. During these months (July until now) I ended up only loosing a mere 5 pounds
I am about to go back on a new set October 1st, I guess my question is to anyone who is on them if that being on them has helped loosing weight because of the estrogen? Or if you know of anyone who this has happened to.
I know a lot of people hit plateaus blah blah but this is too circumstantial for me to ignore.
