Bit of BC rant.

Okay, so I had BC issues and the doctor changed my pill. While on Ortho Tricyclen lo, I had no issues with Weight Watchers....I was losing weight normally. Doctor changed me to Ortho Cyclen (the monophasic one)...I got the generic Sprintec. I took it for the month...Weight Watchers was SO MUCH HARDER!!!!! I googled 'ortho cyclen and weight gain' and all the sites say that it doesn't cause weight gain. If you gain its because of other factors....such as not exercising or poor diet. WELL, I was working out AT LEAST 45 minutes a day and staying within my points with hardly any allowance points used all month. (and I retook the quiz, and I lost a point) First week on the pill, I did lose. The next week...nothing! The next week (technically a week and a half due to going to a different meeting) and I only lost .8 in a week and a half.....GRR!!!!

I've been off the pill since Saturday. (placebo week) and I've still stuck with my workout routine I got used to this past month. I've stayed within my points target (i did use 8 allowance points yesterday).....and I've lost 2.4 pounds since Saturday! This is Monday! STUPID PILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say, I'm not going to start the next pack. Adam and I have discussed the possibility of a baby after we get married and he wants one! So he wants me off the pill anyways. So yay!!!!
