My Birth Control and Possible Weight Gain
I am just a posting fool today! Here is what I am thinking of trying, please let me know what you think:
I've been on the Nuva Ring for a few years. Within the past couple years is when I starting struggling with my weight. Before, I didn't have any problems dropping a few pounds if I had to. I actually lost about 30. Over time I gained some back and then after I started the NuvaRing, I went right back up to my highest weight of around 150 (which is what I am around now).
I would like to experiment and see if the birth control is hindering my weight loss. If you have seen my posts, you would see I have been a member here for 2 years and have had no success. I tried a lot of different things.
Recently I discovered that Splenda gave me migraines and bad headaches. I stopped Splenda and got rid of my headaches. I am hoping this is a similar situation.
I am fine with being off of birth control for a few months to see if it is the reason. If it is, I will look into other birth control.
What is everyone's opinion?
Edited for errors.
Ok... haha
It might be the birth control, or at least a contributing factor. You could try switching brands (I think Yaz and Yasmin both are a little more anti-diuretic so if it's more a retaining water weight thing then they're supposed to help a lot.) Or you could go off all together if you want to.
It doesn't hurt to try. :)
