New Here! And Bc On Weight Question
Posted: 08-12-06 18:01pm

Hi all! I'm new to this website. So i'm still learning things out, but hopefully i'll pick it up fast because it seems like all the other forums i've used. Okay here's my question:

i have been on bc for like 4 years. I had gained a ton of weight on it and can't seem to loose. Anyone know any bc that doesn't cause weight gain? Because I can't seem to loose any weight sense i've been on. Okay thanks all!

Bc can cause weight gain, but it depends on which type you are on. Depo is known to cause a more signifigant weight gain than say the pill or the ring.

Also has your diet changed at all? As we women age and getinto our later 20's our metabolism slows and need to be more aware of what we are eating and make sure we are more active than we were in our teens....(lord knows it happened to me)

Try a different birth control pill. I read that pills with low hormones don't give you so many side effects. Just started on ortho tri cyclen lo and I haven't gained weight or had any side effects.
