[ Answer this question ] Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category? Maybe give some free advice about: Birth Control Pills? Dragonflymagic answered Monday August 5 2013, 1:43 pm: Yes the pill can make you gain weight even though you haven't changed your diet. Why?
Because the pill has tricked your body into thinking it is pregnant and pregnant women put on some weight.
Why does your body think its pregnant? Thats how the pill works. The same hormones your body would create if you were pregnant are simulated in the pill. The pill is what tells your body to stop releasing eggs to get fertilized because you are already pregnant (even tho you really aren't) so other pregnancy symptoms can arise: Tenderness in the breast, feeling more irritable and moody, loss of libido, headaches, the weight gain and even in some extreme cases, even the nausea/throwing up. Why live with those symptoms year after year because the particular med clashes with your body. Tell the doctor you dont like the symptoms and ask for something different.
Be sure to find out about any refraining from sex during a switch in meds if applicable.
So go see your doctor or planned parenthood again. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
