What Causes Weight Gain While On Birth Control Pills?
I have a couple questions about getting off birth control. I am 21, have been on birth control for about 8 years now. About 4 months ago I got off the pill just because I felt I had been on it for to long. In the last 4 months I have gained 20 lbs. I got tested for hypo thyroidism and all my results came back normal. I m wondering what could be the cause of all this sudden weight gain? I read online some people were diagnosed with diabetes. Or recommended to get tested for ovarian cysts. If you could give me any information that would be great
