Birth control and weight gain

HealthyStartsHere

I Stepped on the scale last night and it said I gained another 2.1 lbs. Which is 11.1 lbs in 3-4 days. Honestly, I want to scream. I'm logging in all my calories, I'm eating right, doing the 30 day shred plus walking. What is wrong with me. If I gain anymore weight I'm giving up; there is no way that this is possible. I'm frigging pissed.

The only thing I can think of is that I have been retaking my birth control after 2 months of not being on it (couldn't afford it those 2 months) It is the 4th day of my pill. Is that what's causing me to gain weight?

Yesterday I ate 1,550 calories but my net was 1,000 and I ate fruits and veggies + did day 3 of 30 day shred. And the day before I had 1,551 calories with 1,300 calories being my net.

Am I doing something wrong? Shouldn't I be losing not gaining? What do I do?



BTW I'm on the pill because I had PCOS. IF that helps.

Thank you

I'll bet you're holding water.

you should have posted the fact you were on the pill on your status. ^^;
the pill always makes me gain weight, depo does too. that is one of the side effects most of the pills have.
more than likely its a side effect. call your doctor and let them know what is going on and they should be able to get you on something different. like IUD, or Dep (i dont recommend that btw) , or another type of pill. there are pills now that use progesterone now like depo instead of estrogen, you can try that. you just have to find the one that works for you.
hopefully you get this worked out : )
birth control is a necessary evil somethings...bleh.
