Is the birth control making me gain weight?

Question

I am taking birth control to regulate my period. Yaz to be exact. I've been on it for about a month now. I am 20 years old and I am not having intercourse with anyone so pregnancy is out of the question. Before I started taking the pill, people said I had gained some weight. I try to drink lots of water, sometimes juices, and little or no soda, eat fruits, less carbs, less calories, etc. Sometimes I feel slimmer and at times I don't. Could it be the pill trying to regulate my hormones? Sometimes I get moody but I am naturally like that. I'm a Cancer! =) But anyway, any advice? Can I maintain a normal weight or lose some? I don't exercise much but I am going to try. Should I take weight loss pills? I do want to get get slim like how I used to be. So what could be going on? Has this happened to anyone? I know birth control makes you gain some weight sometimes.

Yes you will gain weight with the pill no matter what brand it is

Answer 2

The pill can definitely cause weight gain, it's one of the major side effects.  I wouldn't take weight loss pills, they are usually a form of speed.  You should speak with your doctor- maybe there is another pill she can put you on that will work better for you.  Take care...
