So my birth control made me gain some weight..

[Anonymous]

And I keep telling my boyfriend I wish I could find a way to keep taking birth control but go back to the way I was before. And he's always said "You don't need to lose weight, you're beautiful." But now after going to the beach and seeing all kinds of skinnier girls he wants me to stop taking because "I" want to be skinnier. Could he be wanting me to stop taking it because he thinks I'm getting fat or am I just getting paranoid?

i don't think its cause he thinks you're "getting fat" but maybe seeing skinny girls made him realize the change...i mean, you repeatedly told him you wished you could go back to your lighter weight so it could very well be that he's thinking of your happiness. he loves you for you and thinks you are beautiful no matter if you're a few pounds heavier or lighter. he has told you that you don't need to lose weight but maybe its coming round to him how you're truly unhappy with how you currently are. the beach may have caused this or it may not have...i wouldn't overthink it too much.

i would rather not have sex, than take a chemical that changes my body. I mean, if you're comfortable with your body-dump him. if you're not. dump the bc. also if he SAID he thinks you're getting heavy, after going to he beach, you're not paranoid, but he's an a**hole. don't they have guy because yet, anyways?

typo.

>>guy birth control.

not guy because.

The beach thing is kinda telling for him to be so sure of you taking it and then switch after the beach he may be thinking there is a little extra weight gaining going on. Could you exercise and diet to loose the weight and remain on your birth control? Or perhaps change birth control maybe a different brand won't cause the weight gain.

If he can't accept you for what you look like, he isn't the one for you

screw him! hell I gained 30 pounds after the depo shot and I hated it but regardless my guy thinks I'm perfect. would you rather be on birth control and deal with the weight gain or get pregnant and have an even more ruined body?
