Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. Definitely, your hormone milieu must have got disturbed due to the frequent use of the high dose of progesterone emergency pill intake in the past. Weight gain is a side effect of hormone use. However, other causes also should be explored. You need to monitor your work-diet ratio, use a calorie-counter to adjust your needs, get an assay of hormones including thyroid profile, serum Prolactin and blood sugar. Restrict the use of emergency pill to one or two occasions per year. Hope this helps.
