Bloating after going off the pill?

I was on the birth control pill for about one year. I went off of it due to mood swings,anxiety & weight gain (started at 110; gained 15pds now weigh 125). I have been off of it for about 5 weeks and I feel really bloated, After my last withdrawl period (4 weeks ago) I haven't gotten my period but feel from time to time I get weak cramps. Has anyone suffered with similar symptoms? How long till I go back to my regular weight(I eat & exercise healthy)?? This is really frustrating! Thanks for your advice....

    I was on the pill for 6 years and I gained about 15 pounds as well, which I think will take awhile to lose. I went off the pill a little over a month ago and I had horrible symptoms that felt like I was pregnant. I started my period pretty much on time and the previous day I was getting premenstrual cramping. I feel like I lost some of the bloatiness that I had, my boobs got smaller, but I feel a lot better, except for the fact of getting my painful periods again. Before I went on the pill my periods were about 6-7 days long and when I was on the pill they last around 3-4 days, so now I wonder how long they'll last.

    I hear that a lot of people can take awhile for their body to get back to normal. I guess I was lucky to get my period on time, so at least you still have some hope.

    I never had that problem but coming off the pill made me very sick throwing up and headaches.

    the pill totally messes with your hormone levels. it could take months for everything to line back out.
