Why am I gaining weight even though I stopped birth control pills?

[Neckbones13]

I was on birth control pills for 3 days. I stopped because of headaches. Now I'm gaining weight like crazy. What's going on?

Being on birth control pills just for 3 days can't make you gain weight that fast
unless you been on other birth control. Also make sure that pill didn't cause
a allergic reaction and that is why your gaining weight cause it swelled you up
yes fluid retention can be the cause too , But your best to talk to your doctor ASAP
but all means don't stop taking birth control some of that stuff can be making
you think that's happening to you. But you need to see a doctor ASAP

That can definitely be one of the side effects. You're playing with your hormones when you're on birth control, there will always be cons.

I would ask your doctor if you have concerns. S/he will tell you what to do. Good luck with everything :)

When you get off the pills, your hormones still change which can cause that.

Did you talk to your doctor about it?
