heyhey everyone, ive just started taking the pill (im on my first strip & third week) but my doctor told me it was best to start on this random monday, even though it was not during the start of a new cycle. I have been gaining weight (1.5 kg) but i am not sure if this was caused by the pill and if that is even possible this fast? Otherwise it might be because i was supposed to be on my period last week (and my doctor advised me to take the pills through it as i only started 2 weeks before that). Is gaining weight normal? Will my food cravings keep being like this? I have no idea whats happening to me and if this is caused by my pill or if its just placebo?

Please use a trigger warning when talking about weight in the future. As you’re now on a synthetic cycle your old natural cycle is irrelevant. Take the pill as your doctor has instructed. Bloating/water retention and appetite changes are a common side effect of the pill which may lead to weight changes. Side effects tend to be worse for the first 3-6 months of a new pill as your body is adjusting to the changes.
