"hello again! i&#039;ve given a couple detailed updates on gianvi in the past few months. i&#039;ve been on the pill consistently from june- end of october. i decided to give my body a break and will continue the pill again shortly. i can genuinely say that i felt completely normal the past few months, however, i did gain weight and felt serious abdominal bloat at all times. no matter how hard i worked out and watched my diet, i could not shed the 10-15 lb weight gain. this is my first week off of it, and bam, i have miraculously bounced back my pre-bc body! my stomach looks and feels flatter and my thighs and arms look slender again. i have no complaints about this pill, but don&#039;t let anyone tell you different - you do gain weight on this pill."
