I started birth control about 2 weeks ago and I’ve gained 7 pounds. I exercise regularly and track my cals and I haven’t been eating significantly if any more than usual. I’ve already cut back some cals and am still gaining. Will this weight come off?

I can’t say for certain that it will but in my experience it did once my body adjusted to the new hormone balance.
