I've been put on the birth control pill Low-Ogestrel because of my frequent UTI due to imbalanced hormones. Yesterday I'd noticed I've gained a little weight (been on it a week). My mom said I'd probably gain about 5 lbs, about half in my breast, which I could live with =)
My question, where is the other 2.5lbs going, and will I gain anymore?
(I'm 15, by the way)

Oh, also I do do some fairly heavy exercise every Friday. I'm in my high school's NJROTC unti, and my 1st sgt enjoys PT. A lot.
Think it'll help?

I was on the pill for 3 months and went from a size 7 all the way to a 13. After getting off the pill I went back down to a 11. I can not get the last few pounds off. Your last 2.5 lbs might just go unnoticed. They may spread around your body and go unnoticed.

I got put on the pill at that age for very painful periods. At 15 you are going to be gaining weight anyway because your body is forming into a more womenly shape. It's going to be hard to tell what weight is just coming because you are getting those child bearing hips or because of the pill.
There is no way to tell where that weight will go. chances are you wont even notice it.
And if you gain so much weight you can't stand to look at yourself anymore there are so many different types of pills ask your doctor to give you another kind.

Birth control pills have a tendency to make n individual gain weight. I personally have found that it is between 4 to 10 lbs epending upon the pill.

I gained like 20lbs on birth control...I've tried just about every birth control there is and gained on every single one of them. I refuse to use them anymore lol. My husband and I will just have to be very careful.

there is a definite possibility that you will gain more and i think that the other 2.5 goes to you thighs, but, and waist. either one of those areas.
