I can say from experience that I haven't gained any weight and I am on them....Def consult your doc to be sure if you feel like your gaining maybe they can switch it up for you. hope this helps and good luck!

I can also say that I was off them for a total of 2 months 1- pre-op , 1 -post op , and haven't gained since starting them back up in may . Listen to your body and talk to your doc . Goo luck with your weight loss.

I lost weight a bit slower while on them but still was on a steady track. It just depends on your priorities what you want most. Would you rather have a bit slower weight loss (I was loosing about 2-3 lbs a month). or getting pregnant. I know I would rather wait until I was healthy enough to get pregnant so it was worth it to me to take BC. Let me tell you, I stopped taking BC and got pregnant 2 weeks later so be careful
