No but I can recommend using nuvaring and going off it if you’d like to gain 30 lbs in 3 months. Happened to me this year after a decade on it.

I’m otherwise super fit, healthy, and trim. So, 🖕🏻hormonal BC.

Also opposite, gained weight on implanon and nuvaring, thought it might just be puberty (started bc around then) but after switching to the copper IUD nearly 10 years later and losing weight... seems to be the bc after all.

No. Everyone’s body is different.

I didn’t realize this but I had slowly gained weight on birth control pills. Went off them and lost about 5-10 lbs. Turned out I didn’t need it as I have PCOS.

Consult 2.. isn’t that for type 2 diabetics and not birth control. I mean for the most part.. I am fairly slim, but my bc slowed down my metabolism (at lease I feel like it did)

Has anyone experienced extreme bloating? Sometimes when I drink my protein shake, I feel extremely bloated. Sometimes when I go to a restaurant, I get bloated to the point I can’t even walk. I’m not sure if I’m overeating or something changed.
I mostly eat very clean and am fully vegan so don’t consume any animal products.
I don’t want to stop consuming food when I go out but am considering stopping protein shakes as they make me feel terrible

Hello fishes, I joined Nagarro on 24th of August. But still no project is assigned yet. Basically I am on bench. Now I am about to get an offer from ServiceNow. I really wanna join ServiceNow as it's a big product based organisation and the competition is really high compared to Nagarro. ServiceNow is giving me a joining date of 1st October. As I am still on bench, will I get released by Nagarro soon ? Because no project is allocated to me.
