i am very curious. do birth control pills really make you gain weight. i am 20 and have been getting irregular periods ever since i was 13. i get my periods maybe every 5 months. that's if im lucky. i am not sexually active. just wanna be some-what normal. i just need "the pill" so i can get my periods normally. or are there any other ways to regulate my period without taking "the pill"? if so let me know.

I took the pill for about 3 years and i never gained any weight while i was taking it... i switched to the depo shot and gained about 60lbs!!! So if you where considering starting bitrth control i would say go for the pill or maybe see about the patch if your weight is within the limits for it...Good Luck

Some pills cause you to gain more weight than others. You need to discuss this with your doctor. I have found that the one that causes you to gain the least amount is tri-cyclen, but each person is different, so each pill reacts differently on some people. You never know, you could lose weight

Have you talked to your doctor about it? You should figure out why your periods are irregular before you try to regulate them. Different conditions require different treatments.
