What birth control pill makes you lose weight?

Answer 1

No Birth Control pill that helps you lose weight exists yet, and it may never exist. Because, birth control pills are the hormone estrogen. Many hormones actually make you gain weight, some more than others.

Additional Advice:

• If you must take pills, try regular birth control pills like brand name "ortho tri-cyclen" to keep your weight steady while you make an effort to lose weight. That's if you don't get another kind of body reaction which makes you gain weight with that medicine. The birth control pill that makes you gain weight often depends on the person's body type and reaction for me it was metaprogesterone.

• it really depends on each person. I lost about 15-20 lbs when i started taking ortho tri cyclen lo (with no exercise/diet changes). i went off it and gained about 6-8 lbs in 2-3 weeks and started it again and already lost the weight. everyones body reacts to drugs and hormones differently. find out what is best for YOU

• I know each person is different but I am currently on a low dosage one called "Loette" and although my weight has been known to fluctuate in the past (59kg-65kg in a matter of a week, 63kg - 60kg in a day etc) it has been more steady, and I'm sitting on around 60kg. My skinny jeans aren't skinny anymore, and I have to buy belts. So maybe that one is right - remember, it's relatively low dosage so no major risks.
