Hi, i am 23, and recently my doctor diagnosed that i have an ovarian cyst, and my hormone levels are abnormal. Apparently, i gained 12 lbs in 2 months, and i have been taking birth control (which is suppose to balance my hormones) for about a month, and during this duration, i have gained 4 lbs. So i have gained total of 16 lbs. i know weight gain is a side effect, but my doctor told me to keep taking the birthcontrol for 2 more months. But, will i keep gaining the weight, or will it go away on its on.Currently, i am 136, with a huge belly. Also my breast is very tender and painful, and they have gotten bigger since i have been taking the birth control. HELP!!!
Oh, the joy of having ovarian cysts. Not. I was diagnosed with a lot about freshman year of highschool and I’m going to be a senior. I was also put on ‘the pill’ by my doctor, and am still on it. I gained about 10 pounds and my boobs grew a cup size bigger within the first few months of taking it. It’s perfectly normal. After my weight gain, I didn’t gain/lose any more. It just stayed that way. I’m now 135. So you shouldn’t gain any more weight. (But you may, depending on how sensitive your body is to the pill) And I’m pretty sure it won’t just go away, cause that didn’t happen to me. So if you wanna lose that gained weight, just do the obvious: exercise and eat healthy. Hope this helps
i have pcos and i gain like 5 kgs im not sure what that is in pounds :S and my doctor just told me to eat healthy and exercise
