A member asked:
On extended cycle of bc pill reclipsen.is it normal to gain about 5-6 pounds the week before placebo week, even if you skip that period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extended cycle pills: If you are still using the active pills and have not yet switched to the placebo pills then hormonally nothing has changed from the rest of the pack of pills. In that case the pill would not be causing a 5 lb weight gain in a week
