Accepted Answer

Borderline: You're really kind of on the borderline of whether you should see your doc or not.It's very normal to experience irregular and variable cycles for up to several months after stopping a hormonal contraceptive.If it would give you peace of mind, then maybe you should just make an appointment and see your doc.They may or may not want to do a blood test or ultrasound.They may tell you this is normal.

Question 7

Who knows but u can: Anyone can gain wt on the pill, i don't like that pill and use a lower dose pill, loloestrin it is only 10mcg estrogen, the lower the estrogen dose, the less chance of wt gain and my pts do not complain of wt gain on that pill.

Changes: Modifying your diet to have fewer simple carbohydrates and starting or increasing exercise may help.  It may be necessary to change to another brand of birth control pill.  The mood changes are a known side effect.

Question 9
