desogestrel ?!

Question

anyone else on this pill and feel that it’s made them gain weight at all, i feel like it’s made me gain loads of weight 😫x

Answer

yes. i started my pill when i was in 8th grade for period reasons and i gained weight. you just have to accept that that may happen and that you may have to workout/eat healthier to maintain a weight that you want. I will say that i don’t think it makes me gain weight all the time.

Answer

Just finished the third pack because I had a cyst and the doctor prescribed it to me. Last week I went in for a check and he said the cyst is gone. So I said I won't be taking this pill anymore because I gained weight. It literally made me crave things at night and having a constant hunger throughout the day. I never ate this much. I just can't control it. I gained 13 pounds in 3 months. I'm a mess. It also made me very emotional and tired constantly. I'm not feeling good with myself anymore, inside and outside. I'll stop now and try to go back to my normal appetite. I'll go back to the vaginal ring for a month to see how it goes because that was good for me for years.

Answer

It doesn’t directly make you gain weight, but it definitely can cause appetite changes and make you eat more then you usually would. Have you considered switching to the implant or something else?
