Thanks Diane! You are the most helpful and sweetest Empowher advisor!
My cycle was always VERY regular being 28 days long with a "perfect" 5 day long period. So here's hoping that it still is! I was on the pill for about three and a half years.
I think that this extra ten pounds came on rather gradually with the pill. My usual weight is about 125 pounds. I seem to always gain 10 or so on the pill. I was very active before I went on ortho tri cyclen and still am...maybe I hike a bit more now. I take in plenty of healthy calories in the form of fish, tofu, grains, greens, fruit and legumes.
Do you know if soy products can have an effect on weight just as the pill does, because of the oestrogen?
Thanks a million, Diane! I also feel so much more calm and happier....maybe the pill was having a bit of a negative effect on my mood!
