I’m one of the lucky people who gain weight while nursing. I stopped nursing a few weeks ago and cannot seem to lose an ounce! I’m seeing a nutritionist weekly, eating very well, exercising four times a week, and drinking over ten cups of water a day. I did switch from the mini pill to the combo pill. Is it really the birth control thats preventing weight loss? What can I do about this? Thanks!

It is very possible that is the cause. Talk to your doctor and see if there is possibly another bc option for you

Yes probably. I struggle with this too on the mini pill, so frustrating. I know many people who usually lose well when they diet, but the day they start BC they hit a brick wall. Following for advice...

It’s just so frustrating because the pill works well for me but this time around I cannot lose any weight

I also couldn't loose weight on the combo pill. I gained a steady 10lb a year while watching. It took me a few years to figure out that this was the cause. With the mini pill and nursing I was able to get the scale down.

I know, its so upsetting. I wonder if the combo makes it harder than the mini, because it has the oestrogen. I am losing a little on the mini, but veeery slowly and I have a lot to lose.

Nursing can also make it harder.

Hormones are monsters. Whatever stage you're at, there's always a catch. Those monsters and I are in a perpetual war; for all the physical and emotional struggles they cause me. …and I'm in my 30's. heaven knows what fun they have in store for me down the road
