Weight Gain/bloating/breakouts

I've been on lo loestrin for about 4 months. I got taken off today due to a weight gain of about 15 pounds, constantly feeling hungry, bloating, breakout, and many other side effects. I start a new pill on Sunday. Just wondering how long it will take to feel like my old self again! It sucks feeling like this! I'm ready to go back to my normal weight and fit into my clothes again!

Hello, Taylor! How are you feeling? Has there been any improvement, yet?

It's difficult to say, it may take another couple months for things to settle down and return to normal.

However, the weight gain may not change, since that is a normal side effect of most oral contraceptives, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, breakthrough bleeding and PMS-like symptoms.

Is there anything else I can help with?
