Do ''Birth Control Pills'' Make Yu Gain Weight? And If Yes What Is The Best Brand To Get To Put On Weight?

Question

I am 17 years old & I am thinking of becoming sexually active. I am also quite slim and would like to be more curvy. Will these pills make me put on weight?

Answer 1

Talk to your doctor,not all pills are for everyone.

Answer 2

You may find you put on a few pounds as it increases your appetite. But if you want to become more curvy you should look into your diet, not take a pill for this. Any pill with a high oestrogen and progestogen potency will cause weight gain.

Answer 3

I'm on microgynon 30 and it definitely increased my appetite. I put on a few pounds but just exercised them off. The side effects vary from pill to pill and woman to woman, but increased appetite is a common complaint (or blessing in your case, seeing as you want to be more curvy).

When you go to your GP or the family planning clinic to get the pill, ask about weight gain on the pill and see what they say. Perhaps they'll recommend a specific one, though generally GPs have favourite brands they prefer to give people.

Good luck :) x

Answer 4

am on marvelon pill, and i have gained few pounds.

not much weight gain as am quite active person. i think if i werent very active i would have gained more weight

my b***s have gone bigger which is brilliant.  

Answer 5

As mentioned above, not every person experiences weight gain when on the pill. I have been on two different brands of the pill in the past 4 years - with one, I experienced no side effects. With the brand I am on now, I have seen signifigant weight gain since I started on it (and it is not that I'm not active). I am on Ortho Tri-Cyclen and have seen the weight gain, but different brands have different effects on everyone. I've heard others that have been on this brand say they feel sick....You may have to try a couple of different brands to see what works best with you, but make sure that you discuss this with your doctor first.
