∙ 12y agoYes I do know that you can gain weight from stopping birth control pill because I did. I was on mircette for 5 years and I stayed the same weight the whole time maybe 2pounds under or over here the there. But now that I stopped I gained like 22 pounds in 2 1/2 months!!! I feel terrible it ruined everything. Now I'm even embarrassed in front of my boyfriend if he touches my fat stomach. Plus I haven't had a period in about 4 months and I am 100% not pregnant. Good luck maybe it's just me. Check to see if you have PCOS if you have the same problem with weight gain, no period, acne, or excessive hair growth.
