Does the contraceptive pill always cause weight gain?

Question

I want to start taking it but that's kind of put me off, any advice?

Answer 1

Im going to say no. Ive been on the pill for 5 years and the only thing i encountered was having a really big appetite *sometimes*. Just watch the things you eat and you will be fine.

Answer 2

No. I haven't gained a pound. I started over a year ago.

Answer 3

no i take it and i havent gain any weight...i lost some but it wasnt because of the pill neither...

Answer 4

I am 24 years old and have been on birth control since I was 19.  I haven't gained any weight.  In fact, the last few months I've been on  Yaz and I've actually lost about 15 lbs.

Answer 5

It can make you more hungry therefore you will put on weight if you eat more. But it doesn't chemically make you put on weight. Some cause weight gain more than others, e.e. if they are higher in oestrogen such as Dianette. I was on Marvelon for a few years and actually lost 3 stone! Now I'm on Cerazette and have PCOS and I've gained half a stone....boo!

Answer 6

No, but those choccie bars and crisps you've been scoffing might!

Answer 7

my b***s went from a B to a D within like 2 months, which i absolutely haaaaaaate. but i lost a stone since ive been on it, and i havnt been doing any exercise or eating well. so no not always.
