Hi. I Am Wondering About Something. I Had A Baby

default
Posted on Fri, 10 Jan 2020
Question: Hi. I am wondering about something. I had a baby five months ago. I was breastfeeding her for four months and have begun the weaning process. In the past month I have been very moody and gained about ten pounds back in weight. I feel as though my hormones are all out of control. I was thinking that once I get my period back then I will feel more normal but it is not coming back. Since I’m no longer breastfeeding I decided I’ll start a low hormones combination birth control pill called lo lo estrin. Do you think this may help me get back on track?

Brief Answer:
Loestrin will help to bring back periods.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Starting with loestrin can help in bringing back your periods. This can help in losing some weight due to the water retention. But you have gained ten pounds that is more likely to be due to excessive fat. You need to start with a strict diet control along with a regular exercise to lose the extra pounds.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Yes I understand. My concern is that my hormones are out of whack because I haven’t had the period return for me when my hormones are not in sync I feel more tired gain more weight and things like that. Hopefully taking the birth control pill will help my hormones to re-stabilize. What do you think?
