A question about birth control?

[Anonymous]

does it make you gain weight?

No it does not, however there is a reference here…

Many patients ask about this side effect. Studies have shown that weight changes in people on birth control pills are no different than among people who don't take birth control pills. 3 placebo-controlled randomized clinical studies have demonstrated birth control pills do not cause weight changes. However, some users may react to the hormones with mild fluid retention in some tissue around the breasts and hips. -

No, and that should be the least of your concern. If the guy is safe and you feel comfortable thats all that matters, and condoms will guarantee you no weight gain.





just make sure if your a minor that you don't let any older guys take advantage of you. I suggest if your 16, a 18 year old would be fine. Just make sure you both are within 2 years.

Sometimes, for me it was water weight but they can give you meds for that too

It can for some people. I know for me the pill made me gain 10 pounds

[Whatever2929292]

I have no idea. But if you don't want to get pregnant you better use it...
