First time!?

Question

I’m so unfamiliar with Birth control. I need some guidance!! I have no clue where to start. I want a birth control that doesn’t cause to much weight gain. (i know i know, i won’t gain any as long as i workout and eat right.)

Answer

Don’t use lo loestrin! A lot of gynecologists start women on that because it’s such a low dose of hormones, but it’s notorious for making you gain weight. My eating habits didn’t change AT ALL and I gained like 30 pounds in 3 months

Answer

Every birth control affects everyone differently. That said, the only birth control proven to cause direct weight gain via the hormones themselves, is the depo shot. Plus, depo is just overall bad for ur body anyway, due to the type of progestin it uses (which is steroid-like) & the high dose of it that goes into ur body at one time. So, I’d try to stay away from depo. With all other methods, it’s possible to experience bloating and/or an increase in appetite. Which can typically be controlled by drinking lots of water, watching what u eat (including limiting ur salt/sodium intake), and being active.
