i went on the birth control pill yasmin, and one of the side effects of the pill is gaining weight.. it just affects people differently. i actually grew 2 cup sizes (from an A to a C) pretty much over one summer.. i wasn't really complaining but if you notice a sudden weight gain (and you don't like it!) tell your doctor and they will prescribe you something else; it may take a few tries before you get something thats perfect for you.

it can be.

it can also make you lose weight though. i'd say give it a try, and depending on the side effects, decide what you want to do from there.

Well weght gain is a side effect but that doesn't mean that i twill effect everybody. Everybody has diffrent body chemistry and it might not make you gain any weight. If you are concernced about it you can talk to your doctor about the best brand and best dosage for you and you hould tell your doctor that you are concerned about weight gain. Good luck! :)

Different people respond differently to different medications. I went on the pill, and had more mood swings, but much clearer skin. I didn't gain weight at all. The thing to do is talk with your doctor about what's right for you... she'll probably give you samples of something, and if there are side effects you're unhappy with, you can get off it and try something else.

It may make you gain 1 or 2 pounds. Not much really
and not most people. The benefits and peace of mind are really worth a couple of pounds. :)
