Personally, I did not have any weight gain with the BC pills.
In the begining, I did gain 10 lbs over a period of a year. Possibly due to the pills causing me nausea and having to eat lerger meals while taking the pills. But over the years, my weight has returned back to normal and it has been stable ever since.

My doctor did inform me that there was a chance that I would gain some weight. I believe that I did. I did start college around the time I started taking them, so I'm not really sure if was starting college or because I was taking the pill. I did gain about 5 or 6lbs though. I was just as active in college as I was in high school, so I'm pretty sure that it was the pill.

No, food makes you fat. Everyone looks for the culprit, smoking, tooth decay causes you to lose weight so lets all let our teeth rot.
Smoke up our lungs and die of cancer and have babies.
Pregnancy I know causes weight gain.
Ever seen a lady after she has a baby. Your body never looks the same again. The pill keeps that from happening.
People who came to our 20 year class reunion who had been on the pill look 10 years younger than those who used other methods. Hormones keep you young. Babies make you fat and old.

NO...i never gained weight. I still stayed at the same weight as when i started. But it did make me sick from time to time. It just depends on who you are

Yes, I did. Then I got off them and lost the weight and was even a size smaller than before.

Yes, I gained 7 pounds that would not go away! Also got brown areas on face & neck from the hormones.

I sure did. But, everyone's different. BC pills fool your body into thinking it's pregnant, so you don't ovulate. I later gained 65lbs when I was pregnant, so it made sense that I gained on the pill.
