What should I do? I feel like I haven't accomplished anything, I feel great as in healthy but I look the same. Does it have to do with me being on birthcontrol?

Have you noticed that your clothes are a little looser? If so, you are losing fat and gaining muscle.  If so, keep up the good work.  If not, maybe you would reevaluate your diet.  I would recommend cutting out simple sugars and simple carbs. Drink lots of water and give it time to work.  You could always join a group like Weight Watchers, but I think you should continue exercising regularly.  Birth control does tend to cause users to gain weight due to hormonal changes, but it should taper off after you've taken it for a while.

Don't freak out too much, it could be nothing!  I took birth-control pills for exactly the same reason and then just stopped taking them, my body flipped out and I felt really sick and my period was irregular for months.\n\nWait untill you finish your period this time and then start the pills, just as you did the first time.  You're okay.\n\nIf you're really worried, go to your doctor for more information.

I would go to your primary care physician and be completely honest as you have been here.  It could be depression without your knowing it, it could also be hormonal or loads of other things.  Wouldn't you rather just feel better?  I went, and am so grateful I did.

Oh goodness, I did that.  My advice, KEEP BUSY and ACTIVE.  Get involved by volunteering, school, playgroups, book clubs, something!  Try to stay in some kind of social group or you will feel lost.  Follow some of your same routines.  Still get up, shower, get dressed, makeup if you do...  \n\nGood luck!

I don't either --- but I have begun eating these little fibre disk and am getting more regular.  i also feel better.  i often wander if this is why I have so much PMS because just before my period I have a biggy and then start.  after that I begin to feel better.  Try the fibre and drink a lot of water.

Its the same thing as me... It may be a stage, or it may be depression... Talk to your doctor when you get the chance.

Remind those that make comments about your weight gain that it's due to the meds you've been on to help you get healthier. I know exactly how you feel! I have always been a size 4 until I got sick last October. I was on antibiotics and then steriods (Predisone is the worst!!!) and I've put on  weight. I try not to worry about what others think of me and my weight gain, I just remind myself that the weight can come back off!

I'm on alesse and i've been the same since day one. Maybe it's just the pill you're on. It might have a strong dose of hormones. Talk to your doctor. It might just be that your body has just had a bunch of things happen and they all seem to involve hormonal imbalances.

If your hormones are out of whack,  Your period will tell the tale.\nI would tell your doctor that you want answers.  You could be early menopause.  \nDid your mom or dad's mom have early menopause?\nI WOULD NOT sit by and be passive about this. \n \nTell the doctors you want answers.  Be even more aggressive if they are men.\n\nI hope they checked the thyroid.  I hoped they checked your ovaries.  I hope they did a bunch of blood work to test levels of all the chemicals in your blood.  \n\nAre you taking anything that could cause this?  a possible side affect.  Maybe your birthcontrol is the wrong dose if you take any.\n\nGood luck and bless.

Keep a record of what foods make you feel this way.\nTell your doctor and get it checked out.

it is possible that your ovaries are not giving you the normal amount of hormones.  Ask your Dr. to run a hormone panel on you.  If the levels are alright it is probably the depression that most of us feel after the operation.\n\nI was 39 when I had it done and after 6 months on an anti-depressant I feel pretty good although I tire much easier.

Is this a normal reaction for you? If so, it could be one of the signs of depression (crying easily, mood swings, etc), and you should talk to your doctor and tell him how you feel. He might be able to prescribe you medication.\n\nIf it's not normal for you, it could be just female mood swings or PMS, or it could be related to other stress in your life. Do you have a lot going on right now? If so, try talking to someone older who you trust, maybe a school counselor or somebody from your church/job, etc.

You have been dominated and controlled and you need to take control for, and also of, yourself.  You are not mental, or a failure!\nGet some self assertion classes and think about what you want from life.  Then make some decisions and carry them through.  i promise you, you will feel much better when you are doing what you want to be doing...good luck...;

Ask you doctor about Byetta.  Its a fairly new drug out for diabetics.  It has other uses like it helps you lose weight also.  I'm not diabetic but my doctor recommended it to me last week for weight issues.  I've read as much as I could find about it and I got the insert from my pharmacy tonight.  I think I'm going to try it as soon as I call my doctor next week and get the script.\n\n4 miles in 45 min is a lot.  You are exercising yourself to death at that rate.  You should be losing weight.  Whats up with that?  Do you have another doc that you can see?  What about your gyno with the missed period thing?  I felt a lot better by just going on Yasmin and having a period.  I don't know why.  It just made me feel normal again, like everything was back to working order.  \n\nI feel pretty yucky right now after Halloween, I might as well have eaten a chocolate cow, because that's how I feel with all my kids candy laying around that I've chomped on here and there.
