The average weight gain for a woman starting birth control pills is 1 pound over the first year. It's mostly water weight that you gain...just like with your period.
There are even pills out there that can cause some small weight loss, Yasmin comes to mind as a great example of that, so I wouldn't use weight gain as a reason not to take birth control pills.
In this situation, the benefits may outweigh the risks...

Wow I sure did! I was a skinny little thing weighing 100 pounds when I got married, got on birth control and my weight went up since then. I gained 40 pounds but that was over 3 years. It could have been something else too I really don't know. It is a lot harder to loose it too!

NO you don't gain extra weight, some people lose weight though, people use to think the shot made you gain weight that was also proven to be untrue....If some one tells you they gained weight ,they would of gained weight whether they were on birth control or not.
