birth control--weight
16/f
okay, ive been on birth control for about 2 weeks. my appetite has increased unhealthily. one night i had my own box of macaroni and cheese, 2 slices of pizza and some cookies after..in one night. its become scary. ive never had weight problems, im 5'5" and i weighed 115. i now weigh 125. and i know that is actually a healthy weight, but my stomach is bulging. even my mom asked me if i was pregnant. my mom said that this could be the birth control adjusting to my body and it can sometimes make your body think its pregnant, is this even possible? im really athletic and i do year round sports and go to the gym so fitness isnt a problem but i continually am active or at the gym..but my stomach isnt going away. any help/answers?
thank youuu!

Birth control can increase your appetite and make it easier to develop fat.
It shouldn't cause (and frankly probably isn't solely responsible for) that much weight in that short of a time frame. Especially not if you've remained active.
Go back to your doctor and discuss this. Switching brands of birth control might help. ALSO, use some self restraint. You might still feel 'hungry', the birth control might really be effecting you, but even if you do, mac and cheese, pizza and cookies are not exactly the kind of meal choices that are going to keep you slim.]
You are getting older. Your metabolism will start to slow down with or without the birth control. That much is normal. Cut down on the junk.
