Weight gain after stopping the combined oral contraceptive pill
I’ve been taking Yasmin for years and stoped 3 months ago. I read stopping the pill often lead to weight loss
Once I stopped I gained half a stone / 7 pounds in 4 weeks and can’t shift it
I was only 9 stone before and am 5ft7 so it feels like a substantial gain and none of my jeans fit. My diet and exercise levels haven’t changed either
Has anyone else experienced this and if so did it plateau and come off or did you get stuck with the extra weight? I don’t eat a lot anyway and have a healthy diet so to start dieting would be very restrictive!
