Um I wouldnt say "super fat" but it can
make you gain weight, depending on the
person and pill, and a lot of girls
comment on their breasts getting much
larger.

Depo made me gain 30 lbs. And yes it
made
me. I couldnt simply stop taking
it because it was in my blood and if I
didnt eat starchy foods I would get so
physically ill I couldnt walk. I had to
eat every couple of hours and not healthy
types of foods, trust me I tried but
having a banana made it worst, I had to
eat something filling and something with
carbs. Like a muffin or something. Just
be careful of what you take and check out
the side effects. I would suggest to
never take depo.

Through personal expierence I suggest you
don't take the shot (depo)! It made me
gain wait and I was super grouchy. It
completly messed up my cycles and my body.
It literally felt like I was starving
all the time. Other than that nothing
else has made me gain weight. I did get
pregnant on the ring insert form of
birthcontrol. I wouldn't suggest that
either. I'm on the pill now and I have no
sideeffects at all.

Weight Gain Posted: 08-08-05 13:31pm
Im on allesse and havent gained a pound.
And you dont really know for sure how it
will work on you. I have a friend who
also went on alesse and gained about 10
lbs, but went back to the doctor and they
switched her to yasmin and she lost the 10
lbs in about 2 weeks after being on the
pill. So just be prepaired to try a few
different pills until you find one that
suits you

I gained about 5 or so pounds on yasmin.
Switched to a different dose pill and
noticed a small change, but not one to get
excited about. I'm actually going off
the pill after my last pills are done
(i'll be done on saturday!) and i'm
looking forward to getting my body back!
Oh, i'm totally in agreement about the
grouchy part. Yikes! No good.
