TeeNahh 40 Posted July 10, 2015 You're not allowed to take pill form BC anymore. They don't know how much is actually being absorbed. Got to find another method. I'm on the patch this month but switching to the shot next month. Best of luck ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
branlee90 19 Posted July 10, 2015 I was on the shot and it slowed my weight loss down a bit. So I got the pill. I go the 21st to talk about different options Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeeNahh 40 Posted July 10, 2015 Oh wow, glad you told me that.... Maybe Nuvaring or an IUD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
branlee90 19 Posted July 10, 2015 That's what my doctor suggested! I'm going to try it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmhelmick 79 Posted July 11, 2015 The shot does cause weight gain... i truly believe that's what started my biggest weight issues as a teen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
able2cope 193 Posted July 11, 2015 I've been on the mini pill since surgery - no pregnancy - but then I am 46... but no one told me that I wasn't supposed to be taking it... had no issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
