Well...I guess I'm not crazy. My doctor assured me this pill was great...I'm finding that not to be the case! I was put on Femcon FE following the birth of my second child via c-section. Since starting the pill I have experienced headaches, depression and MAJOR WEIGHT GAIN. Prior to the pill I was about 3lbs. away from my pre-pregnancy weight. After 6 weeks on the pill I have gained over 12lbs. It makes no sense. I am monitoring my caloric intake which is around 1500-1700 calories per day. I attend a tough "boot camp" style workout 4 days a weeks. How can I be gaining weight? I'm considering just going off birth control all together. I'm 39 and our family is complete. I just can't tolerate this much longer.
I agree with you.. I have been doing the south beach diet for a week and on that diet you are supposed to lose a pound a day.. not only did I NOT lose the pound.. I gained one.. This is freaking me out.. I have to take these pills for at least 3 months because I have ovarian cysts but as soon as these three months are done.. I am done with this pill..
How are things with you? Did you stop taking the pill? Have you lost the weight? How?
Have a good day!
Actually Femcon there is a two year study and 97.5 percent experienced no weight gain. So I don't know how accurate this message is with gaining 12 lbs. Depression could be post partum depression and not related to your pill. It is a great pill to regulate your cycle!
