Got off birth control and I'm sick!
Humph! I got off birth control after a few scary news stories and finally got on the scale. Eight pounds?!? Well, now I'm sick and I actually chose not to eat dinner and had a protein shake instead. I'm hoping rest and watching my carbs gets me back on track and gets these extra pounds off. Anyone had a similar experience after dropping birth control???
Usually it's the exact opposite! Many forms of hormonal BC will spike an increase in weight. I've never heard of going off BC leading to weight gain...unless someone accidentally gets pregnant! That will typically cause the scale to go up

I can't speak to what's "normal" or "supposed" to happen, but I gained 2 or 3 pounds when I had my IUD removed in January.
