Hello,

Taking I pill for three times will not cause such drastic weight gain and other associated symptoms. The most concerning thing in your case is a polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Pelvic examination, pelvic Ultrasonography, LH, FSH levels, thyroid function test, estrogen-progesterone levels are warranted at this point to come to a definite diagnosis.

So, please be advised to follow up with your ObGyn for necessary evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
