Getting off bc

[woodenshoes055]

I've been doing very well and eating clean, then my husband and I decided to start a family down the road so I got off birth control. The after effects of getting off bc has been horrible ranging from moody to horrible bloating. I've probably gain 5lbs in my stomach since getting off. Has anyone else had bad experiences with getting off bc? How long did it take to get back to normal?

I know getting on bc you gain weight, then I read somewhere that getting off can cause the samething:{ So I guess it's back to square one, and relook the meal plans.

I have read it can take up to six months to a year for the full hormonal effect of birth control to leave the body. When I oet off of bc, my weight fluctuates by about three lbs then stabilizes, I took apple cider vinegar pills to help with bloating. I have never experienced weight gain while on the pill, other than over eating, so I can't help there. The first couple months were rough on me, period was erratic, cramps came back, mood swings came and went. By the third month things leveled off, but I went back on them anyway since we are not ready to start having children.

yeah I didn't gaining weight getting on the pill or while on it, just after has been horrible. I'm only in my first month so I'll have to be patient and wait for the next couple of months. thanx:]
