I started Yaz (which I hate and can't wait to get back to Yasmin!) and I gained 4 pounds last week. HOWEVER...I go to Weight Watchers and I pigged out the night before weigh in at our County fair. I am wondering if it was water weight or food weight or possibly caused by Yaz....
Wait, you've been on Yaz for a week, or you've just randomly eaten more lately?
Either way, I've lost weight since I started the Yaz/Metformin combo. I was only on Yaz for a brief time before Met, so I don't know if it did anything on it's own. But the combo definitely manages my symptoms very well.

I started Yaz on Aug 27. Sorry for the confusion. LOL I ate more than I usually do the day before I weighed, so I was just trying to figure out how I had gained FOUR pounds in a week. LOL I go weigh in on Saturday, so I guess I will see if it was all the fried food I was eating at the fair or if it is something else. Thanks for the reply...
My endo says that people can fluctuate over 4 lbs in a day......from my own experience, I've definitely seen 5 lb drops/adds within a 24 hour period. Maybe just that?

I also have lost weight since starting the Yaz/Met combo. I bet it was water weight from the day before. Although in honestly I started seeing a nutritionist too and am doing a low GI diet. However I am not hungry at all.
LOL...I forgot to update this! I lost 3.2 pounds the next week, so it was just from water weight....! Now to keep this weight off. I can't wait to get on Yasmin instead of Yaz. Hating Yaz.
Yaz BCPs and weight gain?
