It can make some girls put on weight, and for others it can make you lose weight, it just all depends on your bodys chemistry and why you are taking the pills. Not all women take birth contol to use as birth control, so it all depends.

Yes this is true for some people, its not necessarily the birth control that makes you gain weight it simply increases your appetite. However don't worry about gaining weight as it doesn't happen to everyone, i have been on the pill for about one and a half years now and i haven't put on any weight. :)

I wouldn't worry about it..the side-effects of the majority of drugs are only prominent in the first 6 weeks mainly.
If you do find its the case I'm sure you could lose it as quick *** you'll gain it, there are many different types of pill so see what one is most suitable for you.
And remember a bit of weight doesnt make a lady look any less attractive.
best of luck

it can for some people. I have not gained any weight from the pill.
I would not say that they can make you fat, they will probably just make you put on a little bit of weight. But as long as you maintain a healthy diet and get plenty of exercise, its fine

depends on your body but yes some girls do. i never had problem with the pill and weight but did have a problem with the depo shot. you should talk to your doc about birth control options for you. there are so many forms out there you have quite a few option's.

Yes you can put on some weight, I didn't so it really depends on the person. As long has you have a sensible diet it shouldn't be a problem.
