It depends on your body.
I am anal about weight as well, and when I
was on bc I never gained an ounce.
I cannot use hormones now, but it took
trying them out years ago to figure this
out.
If hormones cause weight gain, an iud will
not. An iud is a birth control device
inserted into your uterus, they are most
suitable for women over 18.

Weight gain for pregnancy, if you were
sexually active, would be far worse than
2-3 pounds for bc.
Nuva ring is least likely to cause
problems out of them all.

It depends on the person and the drug. I
actually gained when on keriva (generic
for something but I forget now) and now
that I am on ortho lo I have actually lost
a few (i was trying so I dont think it was
cause by the pill)
if you have any concerns just ask your doc
about it. S/he will be able to give more
detailed info about. You can also talk
to a pharmascist since they have to
specialize in drugs as well.

I'm on enpresse and I lost weight, like,
immediately. Like they said, it all
depends.
