I feel like my face is swollen the last couple days, kind of like it is toward the end of a pregnancy. (I'm not pregnant). I'm also up like 6 pounds since I weighed myself last (but I don't remember when that was. A few weeks ago?)
Any idea what coud be going on? I've been exercising more so I would be surprised if I suddenly gained a bunch of weight. I did accidentally miss two days of BC (I'm on the mini pill).
Ideas?

Did you just start exercising? Your body will retain water and retain glycogen if you just started working out...it takes a bit for your body to be like "oh it's just exercise, i can chill out" and let go of that. It sends all the water and glycogen to your muscles

@blackbird: yeah sort of. I always am pretty avtive and go on long walks with the kids regularly. But I just started doing the thirty day shred a few days ago. (Even though I keep taking days off because I am sore!

You better check with the doc. When I got really swollen they said to call if it ever was on my face. Cause it could be a sign if preeclampsia. Of course, I never got swelling on my face but I did get severe preeclampsia suddenly on my due date! I wouldn't have known if I hadn't gone into labor. They may want to check your urine for protein and your blood pressure. They can change really fast!

Did you eat or drink anything new? Any new products in the house - soap, lotion, makeup, etc? Could be an allergic reaction. Also, are you taking any medications that may be having an interaction? When I was taking Topamax for migraines, my face would swell and go numb if I drank Twisted Tea!!
