Gaining Weight, Stomach Getting Bigger, Stretch Marks On Breast, Nausea, Lighter Periods. Any Ideas?

I was wondering if I have reason to be concerned or if I'm just freaking myself out. I weighed myself today, and to my suprise, I've gained 10 pounds since a few months ago. I've always had a muffin top, but lately my stomach seems a bit bigger. Also, a few months ago, I went up a full cup size and have stretch marks on my breasts now. I have spells of nausea that last a few minutes at a time and spells of extreme fatigue occasionally. However, I haven't missed a period, but my last 2 were slightly lighter than normal, and I'm in the nuva ring. Ideas?

Hi, I suggest you to undergo regular health check up for sugar levels, Blood pressure and serum electrolytes once and a pregnancy test too just to rule out the reason for nausea.
You can undergo an pelvic ultrasound examination to rule out a condition called "poly cystic ovarian disease" which is usually associated with weight gain.

Consult a gynecologist, so that she will examine you and can suggest the necessary blood tests, hormonal tests to rule out PCOD. Finally try to reduce your weight by choosing a better suitable diet plan if all the tests are normal and if you are not diagnosed with a specific cause.

Hope this might help you!
