Has anyone else noticed that taking bcp slows down your weight loss? The week I am not on them... (supposed to be TOM of week, but since I hardly get it, I wouldn't call it TOM), I lose 2-3 lbs. Then I start taking my pills again and my weight loss stands still. Last month I forgot to take my pills 4 days in a row... so I thought I would ride it out that month w/o taking them and just start back at my normal time. BOY! I lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks... then I started taking them again, NOTHING! NOTHING has been happening since I started taking them again. Of course, I take my bcp pills for reasons besides pregnancy, acne, etc. But I felt SO MUCH better off them! Is it the brand?? I suffer from PCOS, so I take them to kind of have a regular cycle.
I take Orthotricycline... (SP?)
Anyone else experience this??
