Getting "the shot" or Depo-Provera for birth control can increase your appetite, which can cause weight gain.
Birth control is not for weight control.
To prevent weight gain on birth control, don't change how much you eat or exercise. If you were gaining weight before starting birth control, you'll probably continue to gain weight after starting birth control.
Despite old wives' tales to the contrary, birth control pills do not cause weight gain. Patients on birth control pills and patients not on birth control in controlled studies both gained weight.
The birth control pill decreases the risk of pregnancy. That is what it is intended to do.
No, birth control decreases your risk of getting pregnant.
Birth control
There is not a specific birth control pill that helps with weight loss. A few women with hormonal imbalances may find that weight loss is easier when taking the birth control pill, but any pill will work for this purpose.
Yes it may. I have recently read that obesity can affect the effectiveness of birth control.
Birth control pills do not increase the risk of birth defects in babies conceived by women who are or were taking them.
The Birth Control itself does not have any ingredients in it that make you gain weight. The birth control makes you crave food and its the food you eat that makes you gain weight. So when you crave the food go for something healthy to eat such as fruit.
what did your doctor say??
