Birth control that doesn't make you gain weight??

Question

I have the Mirena and have had it since November. I got it put in after I had my son. I weighed 145 whenever I got it put in and now I weigh 159/160😢😡. So I know this might be a long shot and I know everyones body is different, but is there a type of birth control that DOES NOT make you gain weight? TIA!!

Answer

birth control doesn't make you gain wait, it increases your appetite. pay attention to what you're eating.

Answer

I would suggest the copper iud. It's really the only birth control that is hormone free so won't cause weight gain. Pretty much every other kind seems to be hit or miss depending on the person and how they personally react to it.

Answer

I didn't have a problem with my mirena but my sister uses the implant and has no weight gain problems

Answer

I didn't gain any weight with my Mirena. I did really watch what I ate/went on a diet (no bread or meat) after I got it in though. I did notice I had a pretty intense sweet tooth afterwards.

Answer

I see a weight loss doctor and she said the best birth control for not gaining weight is the copper IUD because it's the only one without hormones

Answer

I'm on Concerta. (Pills)  I've been on it for years, never gained weight on it at all. They tried to switch me to the generic Viorelle and it made me gain weight the month I took it. Went back to concerta and I haven't had any weight problems since

Answer

I gained 50 pounds in a year after getting the Mirena -- no change in how I ate, maybe more stress since my husband I are were newlyweds and trying to juggle school and work and bills with too little money. But yeah I will never use hormonal birth control again. I am thinking of just using spermicide even though I know it's not as effective because it wouldn't be the end of the world for us to conceive again, we know we want more than one kid it would just be a matter of timing. Maybe switch to the copper IUD?
