Question

Answer

It usually increased appetite but I think the shot has a side effect of wait gain

Answer

Well I was doing some research on it a while ago, and it said most girls don't gain weight. And if you do it's not that big a deal. I'd rather gain 5-10 pounds instead of 35 cause of a baby.

Answer

Answer

My birth control didn't. It just depends on the type of birth control you get.

Answer

I was on one pill and was fine. My doctor switched pills and I gained a Ton. Just monitor it and if you start to feel like your body is changing you can always switch pills.

Answer

First time I went on birth control I gained nearly 40lbs - I was about 15. I didn't change my eating habits at all... Infact I was more concerned with what I was eating. Then I went on again about 9 months ago before my wedding.. Gained 20lbs. I've come off now... Lost 5.

Answer

I gained weight while on it. I had a bad effect while on it too besides the weight gain too.

Answer

The answer is maybe. All birth control options are different. Some make you gain or lose weight. Some can make you break out, while others can help clear up your face. Long story short, there are many options out there so you have to find the one that is right for you :) don't get frustrated if the first one doesn't work well for you. I had to try three different kinds before I found a perfect fit!
