I went to my gyno a week or two ago becuase i have had irregular periods for about 5 years so she decided the best thing to regulate my periods and help with my acne, was to put me on the pill..so today i started my period which means tomorrow (since its sunday) will be my first day to take the pill..anyway my question is...i have heard from many people that the pill since it deals with your hormones and such it causes you to gain weight..i am very self contious and a little heavier than i would like to be as it is now..so will it cause me to gain inevitable weight??????? please does anyone know????
snowwalker69 answered Monday January 24 2005, 3:04 pm: hey there. I'm a bit heavier then i would like to be, and i've been on the pill for 6 monthes now. it causes little weight gain. it totally depends on her eating habits in my opinion.

It does make your boobs bigger which i can't complain about and really benefits your period. Try it for a while and see. hope i helped

Now, people have said that it does make you gain weight, but I've been taking it for 2 years and I haven't noticed any weight gain! Maybe it differs from people to people. Some gain weight and some don't...Try taking it and if you notice any change, ask your doctor if there is anything else you can take instead of the pill. *goodluck* [ AnGeLtHuGsTa's advice column | Ask AnGeLtHuGsTa A Question ]
NEVERLETG00 answered Saturday January 22 2005, 2:29 pm: you can gain weight, you can loose weight, different things happen to everyone if their on birth control, sometimes nothing will change, just your period is on schedule, it just helps if you watch what you eat and you shouldn't gain weight because of the pill.

Karen answered Saturday January 22 2005, 2:10 pm: Some of the pills do make you gain weight and some don't. It's different for everyone and everyone gets different side effects. You could gain weight but then again, you won't. Hope I helped :)

MummuM answered Saturday January 22 2005, 2:07 pm: It's different for everyone. I know some of my friends are on the pill, some gain weight and some don't. If it's not working out for you, you could ask the doctor to get you something else. Or, you could just not talk the sugar pills that come with the pill. The sugar pills are the ones that make you gain weight.

lildiamyn_69 answered Saturday January 22 2005, 2:04 pm: The pill has many unwanted side effects. Some people get some and others don't. So you may not neccessarily gain weight, but it's possible. Stick with it for a while, and if you do start to gain weight, ask your doctor to find something else for you. [ lildiamyn_69's advice column | Ask lildiamyn_69 A Question ]
