I started taking ortho tri lo and I'm on the 3 pills before the sugar pills. I've noticed that my stomach sticks out like crazyI look pregnant! I never knew this could happen. I did pig out 1week because I had cravings. I know how to diet etc but my stomache wont go away! Its making me depressed then i dont want to execise because i need to see instant results and i see none. I dont have a scale but that doesn't matter. Ive googled and either get...'stop eating' 'the pill doesn't make you gain weight' 'it'll go away if you exercise''it's water weight'
If this has happened to you, when did your belly go back to normal?
I hope this helps other girls because no one told me this could happen!
-I've read the pill slows your GI track so that could be it. Im taking probiotics and it helps.
-If you have fibroids, estrogen in the pill will feed on them giving you a fat belly
-have your hormone levels checked before taking the pill [vitex or chasteberry balances all hormones, not just one]
this post was really informative:
