Every birth control is different and has a different effects on everyone.
Most of it does make you gain weight, but it's not a lot. It's probably like 5 lbs which isn't too much to worry about. It could also make you lose weight though. Don't stereotype the birth control.

Birth control effects everyone's hormones differently. There is no way to know how it will effect yours. It could make you gain, it could make you lose. It could cause your face to break out, or clear up. You just never know what it will do to you. Usually when you get put on birth control, they run a bunch of tests on you to see which birth control would be better for you. So don't stress out about this. It's no big deal.

It's a myth that birth control makes you gain weight. Girls have stated that being on birth control has made them gain weight, but it's all rumor. There was never any clear evidence. Girls have complained about retaining water while being on birth control, so the scale would go up & you would weigh more, but you didn't become fatter or anything. Also, some complained of increased appetites, which caused weight gain, but that was from changing their diet & eating more due to their appetite changing. Usually the low dosage birth controls have very few side effects & there's a less chance of weight gain. Talk to your doctor about which birth control is best for you. Everyone is different so everyone has different side effects. There have been cases where birth control has caused weight loss also. Ask your doctor & check out the low dosage birth controls.
-hope that helped!♥
