add weight to your stomach, thighs, bottom?

Weight gain is a common side effect of many birth control pills. It says so right on the insert inside the box.

Most types of birth control pills cause you to retain water, about 5 lbs or so. If you are binging, then you need to try to find things to binge on that are healthy for you to help maintain your weight. I was on the pill for 17 yrs, and gained about 5 lbs a year from water weight, this is pretty normal. When you stop taking the pill, after about 3 months you wil start to lose the water weight.

Go to a store instead of shopping on the internet.

it depends on what pill you are taking. I suggest you google the name of your pill and find the manufacturer's website. They should have information about it on there. I take Yaz, and according to their website, it doesn't cause weight gain. I actually lost a little bit when I first started taking it. >L

Take a lap around the grocery store prior to starting shopping.

Its meant to make your boobs bigger and give you more of an appitite, so you are likely to put on a little weight, only a few pounds though.

Yes it can do and as you rightly say- usually on your womanly curves! Including tummy and thighs. Not everyone though - it's a lottery.
