Birth control doesn't make you gain weight, but it can increase your appetite so you eat more - and if you eat the wrong foods and don't exercise enough, you gain weight.
The hormones also mean that any weight you gain goes to more visible areas like boobs, thighs and butt.

Yes, all forms of birth control have the risk of gaining weight. If the shot affected you like that, be careful what other affects you may have from other BC. The shot made me infertile. I took it for 4 years, when I stopped, I could no longer get pregnant.

yes, I tried all type of pills & i exercised & had a good diet & instead of me losing weight I gained weight... Plus I got pregnant with my 1st child while I was on the pill & I don't trust depo either cuz I got pregnant with my 2nd child while I was on Depo... Now I've been on the IUD n I haven't got prgnant while I've been on this... Hope this helps...

they have hormones, and hormones could modify human behavior to absorbing fats.
