Stopped Taking Lo Loestrin Fe After 4 Months

I have been on lo loestrin fe for 4 months and gained almost 30lbs. So I decided to stop taking it. I just stopped taking it for 4 weeks now. My fiancé and i are intimate and i know there's always a chance of getting pregnant when you have intercourse. But what are the chances of me being pregnant now? My breast are sore. Im still putting weight on. I want to eat all the time. I am moody. My fiancé thinks I'm pregnant but those are also side effects i read about others having. I am so confused. I took a pregnancy diagnostic last week and it was negative. I stopped taking the pill the first week in my new pack. I have a doctor's appt monday. But what are the odds?

Have you had intercourse, without using some other form of protection, since you stopped taking it?

If so, then yes, there is a risk of pregnancy. However, the symptoms you're experiencing could also be due to stopping the oral contraceptives, since your body now has to rebalance your hormones on its own. You may also experience headache, dizziness, breakthrough bleeding and PMS like symptoms.

If you've gained that much, it sounds like this might be the right one for you to take and you should speak to your doctor about trying a different one. Most weight gain from them peaks at around 10 pounds.
