My Hormones :(

Hey peeps

Last year i went on the birth control pill and lost 21 pounds in 2 months. After 3 months i started to get palpitations and had to stop using it.

Since then ive gained a lot of weight gradually, its been about a year now. It started to get a lot worse over the past 3 or 4 months.
Ive also got breast discharge, yellow sticky from both nipples, heavier vaginal discharge, and my periods have become so painful i vomit. Also i suffer from heart palpitations, especially when i have PMS. Im very tearful or angry a lot of the time too.

My diet is VERY low fat and calorie because im just gaining gaining gaining...its actually very upsetting. I know people all the time say they are gaining weight for no apparent reason and it makes me pi**ed cos they shovell food into their mouths, but i really am eating hardly anything.

I know normally with the pill people gain weight then when they stop using it they lose it. But i am the opposite.

Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? Im not pregnant. My mum thinks maybe i have some hormone imbalance. Im gonna go to doctor soon.
Any help or comments much appreciated.
