 I am having a problem.  I have gained about 5 pounds in the last week or so.  I have not lost weight in a few weeks. My eating has not been horrible but not perfect and I probably need to drink more water.  I went off birth control last month and tried to get pregnant.  I have not started my period (pcos) and feel super bloated.  I took a preg test and it came back negative.  Has anyone experianced weight gain after going off birth control?

It may just be water weight, I would say drink more water exercise and wait for that time of the month to pass.

Water weight due to increased salt intake more likely

Doubting you've increased your daily calorie count by 2,500+ calories per day for the whole week, I'd say water weight too. Hormones are different on and off the pill, could be contributing to the water weight gain. Drink plenty of water to tell your body it doesn't need to hoard it :)

Edited to add, good luck TTC!
