Weight gain does not always follow. I suggest you talk to your doctor about the different choices in pills, since there are different levels of hormones available that can cater to your specific needs. He would also know about what side effects are most common for which prescription.
One of my hosuemates, as well as myself, are on different prescriptions and we have not found any significant weight gain. However, I do know of a few pople that did have it.

Just for the reconrd just as many women who gain weight on the pill also loose weight. And not only that, but if you are one of the girls that you are noticing that you are gaining a pound or two, you can start eating lower calorie food or excersizing to prevent the weight from coming on. You can stop the weight from adding itself to you. You'll be fine.

No! I don't know anybody ever who gained weight after starting birth control. Protect yourself. You'll gain more weight if you get pregnant than if you use the pill.

start administration pills should not be taken basically once you experience like it; they could be taken continually to steer clear of being pregnant and shorten your era. jointly as start administration could reason weight earnings, its plenty greater possibly as a results of bloating and its basically some kilos. basically as many women say they dont earnings weight or lose it than do. Its unlikely that a woman could earnings rather some weight from the pills, except that they had a significant enhance in urge for nutrients and consequently replace in weight loss plan....i in my opinion think of start administration could be used to steer clear of being pregnant somewhat than mess with nature/era yet while its somewhat bothering you, a gyno can help get you on the main remarkable drugs.
