I'm not exactly sure how long I've been on Estrostep FE because I have switched pills a few times but I wanna say I've been on it for at least 5 years.
I went to the gyno yesterday and mentioned my weight gain.
I was told from
2003-2004 I gained 12lbs
2004-2005 I gained 14lbs
2005-2006 I gained 10lbs
My gyno isn't sure if its the pill or not so he took me off of it for 3 months to see if I lose weight.
Has anyone else gained alot of weight after being on the pill for a few years??
Is it possible you're eating too much? I've heard that's another cause of weight gain.
Nope, I'm not eating too much. I diet and exercise and I still gain weight.
Bodies do "get used to" things, from exercise regimes to medication. Try switching your exercise regime, e.g., if you run, bicycle instead. Also, examine any sources of stress in your life. It might be a combination of things.
This is a link to the largest thread on a2k about Estrostep FE - perhaps more additional people will see your question if you ask it on that thread too.
The thread is a bunch of pages long, you might find it interesting.

No need to be sorry - I just thought you might find some more interest there.
well, i guess you must have been depending solely on your pills to lose weight. had some friends who have had similar experiences.
