So my roommate went off the pill (on a generic of loestrin) about two weeks ago after being on it for a year. She's been eating rather healthy the past two weeks but has still managed to gain five pounds. Is there any chance that withdrawing the pill could be causing this? I have a feeling it is but she's freaking out and I wanted to ease her fears.

Is there any stress going on in her life right now? Or other mood changes? That could lead to weight changes. But likely it is a result of going off her pill. Still, if she's concerned, she should talk with her doctor about it.

Bloat. She's getting ready to have her period. For REALZ and not a hormonal withdrawal bleed.

Eating healthy does not necessarily mean she is not consuming too much calories.

With that said it is possible that it is related to going off the pill, general bloating, etc.
