"i took this pill for 5 months in which i gained 25lbs. i stopped taking it but continued to gain weight. i&#039;ve gained a total of 60lbs. despite exercise and diet i&#039;ve been unable to lose any of the weight. i started the pill when i was 40, i was never in the pill before that. one doctor told me when you start bc in your 40&#039;sit can throw your hormones out of whack. it&#039;s been almost 2 years since i stopped the pill and still have not been able to lose 1lb. if this happened to you please let me know"
