I knew when my dr. started me on BCP to counter act the pain of endo, I knew the side effects ie: weight gain I feel in the past week this curse has caught me!! I feel huge!! Not to mention we had a company picnic last week and seen some pics of myself and OMG (this didn't help my self-esteem)!! I know I have gained weight~~ I am on the go all the time!! I try to exercise as much as I can, I am really trying to cut back on my diet cokes I drink alot of tea now!!!
Anyone with some advise!! For my own personal sanity is there anyway to lose weight while on BC?

I wish i had some advice, but i'm in the same boat! i've been on the pill for almost 5 years ( itake it continuously so no period) and was on the depo shot before that. i've struggled with my weight since. i have lost weight, but i have to be SO strict and exercise like crazy. but, i usually fall of the wagon and gain it all back. i've been about 30-40 pounds overweight since going on birth control, and my weight is up and down like crazy. i can't believe how huge i've gotten. when i see my old clothes it just makes me want to cry! ugh...anyway sorry i wasn't much help, but i know what your'e going through!

Hi both, side effects SUCK! Í'm not on anything at the moment but how I hate it when pills fix one thing and then bring me something else for free. Gee, thanks... So, I feel for you! With respect to a solution to the weight gain, have you tried the endo diet? I have to work hard to keep my weight steady on this diet! It's a different world: eating when I'm not hungry, adding extra oil to everything I can think off, but best of all: I don't crave the stuff I used to, like biscuits, cakes and other sweet stuff. And a good side effect is that I seem to have less mood swings and dips. Hope you guys find a way!
