The only contraceptive proven to actually cause significant weight gain is the depo-provera shot. All other forms of contraceptive including the pill are not proven to cause weight gain. While they may cause an increased appetite you are just going to have to control yourself. No one can tell you how you will react and your doctor will put you on which ever pill he usually starts people on. If you want to use the pill to skip your periods by skipping your placebos/week off the pill, ask your doctor for a monophasic pill so that you can do this. It's harder to skip your period on a pill like ortho-tricylen while it's easy to skip your period for one or more months on alesse, ortho-cyclen or desogen.

No one can say wheather or not you will gain weight or not while taking the pill, I am on Yasmin at the moment and that is ment to help stop weight gain but I have been on it for 10 mnths and I gained 6lbs, I have been on about 4 different types of pills over the last 7 years and they all had the same effects and weight gain and they all had different ingredient levels, everyone will react different to the pill, if you do gain weight you will know within the first 6 months, anything that is used to control hormones there is always that chance of weight gain, Unfortunately there is no pill guaranteed to provent weight gain. it is the same also with the implant you can get and also injections.

didn't make me fat. Food makes you fat. Some people say that but they are eating to much and would have been fat anyway. I can guarantee you not as fat as having a baby. Some people smoke so they won't get fat and stink like a pig. Their breath knocks you down. I would rather be fat then stink. Tape you mouth but take your pills and don't smoke. Ever seen a women after she quit the pills and had a baby. Her shape was like a deflated baloon. No birth control pill does to your body what having a baby does. They didn't have any trouble, she quit the pill and 9 months later had a baby.

I have been using Loestrine, it's great I have not gained extra weight and I only get my period for two days ( the last row of pills has a low dose of hormone insted of sugar pills so you get a shorter period).

Best to ask your doctor. She'll be able to tell you all the options and side effects.
