Ive been on birth control since I've been 15. I became sexually active at 17. I am now 19. Im 5' 6" 135lbs
I used to be on Depo, but it was so hard on my body. It gave me headaches, made me depressed, and I gained about 10lbs on it. After 2yrs of misery I finally switched.
I am now on the pill. It made my boobs bigger (lol) But Ive been on it for about 4mos and I've gained an additional 10lbs! =( !!!
The weight gain is crazy I'll stop taking it to start my peroid and I drop 5 or 6lbs the next day.. then once I start again I usually gain more back on.
What do u ladies recommend?? This weight gain is starting to effect myselfesteem and my clothes are starting to become tight.
So is there a brand of pills that dont cause to much weight gain or another method? I heard that NuvaRing cuases you to gain the most weight?

I've been using the Nuva Ring for a year and I haven't noticed weight gain.

Call your dr. and ask for a different pill. There are some that don't cause weight gain.

My GF takes Ortho-Tricylen Lo. She lost 20lbs and got bigger boobs and no acne from taking that stuff.
