Quitting the contraceptive pill to lose weight?
Hey all,
A little back story: I was put on Dianette for androngene problems (acne, facial hair) but due to it causing psychosis I was taken off it. However, whilst on the pill I gained about 20 lbs in weight. As I was sexualy active at the time I stopped taking Dianette I was put on Cerazette and continued to take it happily, although gained a further 15 lbs and my acne returned. I think I tried another 1 or 2 contraceptive pills in a bid to cure the acne and eventually settled on Microgynon. This did improve my skin, but I remained 35 lbs overweight despite being an active and healthy person (love the gym, always loved healthy / vegetarian cooking).
My doctor has taken me off Microgynon due to my having migraines, and has re-prescribed Cerazette. I am starting to dislike filling my body with so many random hormones and do not want to gain another 15 lbs!
Basically, my question is will I lose that 35 lbs if I stop taking contraceptive pills? (and obviously begin using condoms).
Advice appreciated.
