The pill and weight

WhyDelilah79

Hi all,

I'm just stopping taking the pill after 17 years. Is my weight likely to be affected at all? How have others found coming off the pill? Thanks. :-)

Hi there!

I came off the pill earlier this year after being on it since about 14/15..long time!

I honestly didn't really find my weight was affected at all, though my skin went back to being teenage skin argh! I just had to stick it out until my hormones regulated, hated that fact that i was having all those "fake" hormones fed to my body for years! And i thought my periods would be horrendos but luckily they were actually lighter! Who'd have thought!

Good luck!

Thanks very much. Yes, all those hormones confusing your body isn't great. I'll hope for a bit more weight loss then but won't expect it. :-)
