Hormonal weight gain

Emma • 22. Married. TTC #1. Cosmetologist.

Has anyone noticed that after coming off birth control, you’ve gained a few pounds? I’ve gained around 15 but it feels like 50. Any tips on how to manage this? It’s really just my belly. Though TTC has risen my stress levels, I don’t feel as though my weight gain would contribute to stress which is what leads to believe its hormonal.
