3. Myth: The pill will make me gain weight.\nFact: Most women do not gain weight on the pill. But if you do it is likely to be water retention, limited to about 2 pounds. However, some women find the pill increases their appetite, which in turn causes overeating and weight gain. The solution: Switch to a different birth control pill. http://www.webmd.com/content/Article/105/107875.htm?pagenumber=3\n\nI'm on the pill. Could it be making me fat? By Deb Levine, MA \n\nMay 1, 2000 (San Francisco) -- There may be several reasons you put on weight while on the birth control pill. \nThe hormones in the Pill (estrogen and progesterone) can alter water metabolism, sometimes causing fluid retention (called edema). A woman could experience a weight gain of up to five pounds from this temporary side effect that usually begins in the first month and lasts for four to six weeks. Decreasing your intake of salt could lessen this water gain, so you might want to cut down on chips, pretzels, and other salty foods when you're on the Pill. \nIn addition, the hormones in some types of birth control pills can cause increased or decreased appetite, leading to weight gain or loss. If you notice a weight change, discuss it with your doctor during your next visit. \nYou might also ask your doctor if you can switch to one of the pills that contains a lower dose of estrogen if you are not already taking one. According to a study of 463 women published in the March 13, 2000 issue of the journal Contraception, side effects such as bloating and breast tenderness were one-third less common in women taking lower-dose pills than those taking higher-dose ones, without a loss of effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. \nYou should also report to your doctor any problem lasting more than two or three menstrual cycles. And if you have severe pain or swelling in the legs (thigh or calf), severe headache, dizziness, weakness, numbness, blurred vision (or loss of sight), speech problems, chest pain, shortness of breath, or abdominal pain, report them to your physician immediately. These symptoms could indicate a more serious condition such as a heart problem or abnormal blood clotting. \n\nDeborah Levine, MA, is a health educator and author of The Joy of Cybersex. She has presented papers at the World AIDS Congress and the American Public Health Association meeting on the use of the Internet for sex education. \nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/42/1687_50228.htm

There are hormones that your doctor can give you.

Depo like to cause you to gain weight and you have to exercise a lot to prevent that. Depends on what type of depo you use, there are monthly shot and quarterly shot. Talk to your OB/GYN to get the correct info. Yasmin or ortho tricyclin low do not cause to gain weight but it does have a hassle that you have to take them everyday @ the same time.

Yes, as that is how the pill works.  You get fat, and then nobody want's to have sex with you.\n\nKIDDING of course.  \n\nHowever, my ex-gf was on the pill and gained about 20 lbs.  When she went off, she lost the weight.  My wife and I have had a lot of luck with the IUD that DOESN'T emit hormones.

I think you should go to your doctor and ask her or him these questions.\nNot everyone reacts the same to hormones; so I think it's a bit risky to ask this question here...

One of the side effects of taking birth control pills is weight gain.  Sometimes the generic pills aren't exactly like the name brand, but they are close enough to be called generic by FDA standards.  If there are no other contributing factors to explain the weight gain, i.e. recent inactivity, increased caloric intake, etc. then we can only assume the weight gain is from birth control pills.\nI never really minded the weight gain when I was on birth control pills because I preferred a few extra pounds to having an unwanted pregnancy.

Ha  ha.  That is funny.  Sorry honey - it is hormones and hormones alone that control those things.

Taking any hormone should be done on the advice of a Dr, so many side effects. Really don't think taking it will give you a bigger butt, be happy with the shape you have!

no. synthroid should actually help you to loose weight if you gained it due to hypothyroidism. synthriod is actually artificial thyroid hormone that adds to what your thyroid is not producing. if have too much, then it would make your heart beat real fast, be very excitable, loose weight very quickly, and it could cause other more severe problems. if you don't have enough: constipation, weight gain, hair fall out, and other severe problems.

You might not necessarily gain weight, but your body certainly becomes more "womanly" and "curvy" - you lose the little girl look.  I'm not sure why this happens.

As you age, the metabolism slows and the female hormone levels change.  Both changes make it harder and harder for women to lose weight.  It is another of the unfortunate body circumstances that afflicts women but not men.  Their weight is never influenced by their hormones.  Somehow, we women always  get the short end of the stick.  :)

Actually, Yasmin is one of the best pills you can take if you do not want to gain weight.  I started taking it in January of this year and I think I might have gained like 3 pounds compared to my friends who are taking Ortho-Tri Low and gained like 10-12. Birth control pills do not make you fat by themselves, however they do increase your appetite a little.  Just don't pig out on junk food all the time and you will be just fine.  Good Luck!!

JenniferLynn is wrong. The ingredients in the pill changes your hormone levels and most likely thats why you gained some weight.Your hormone levels will return back to the way they where before you starting taking the pill, but it just takes a little time for it to get out of your system.So YES, you can get back to your old self(exercise or diet to lose the weight) and NO, your body wont store fat easier.

Have you seen a doctor?  If you are making a lot of effort with no to little progress you might (emphasis on that word "might") have a physical condition that prevents you from losing weight.  I have thyroid issues that affect my weight.  there are many medical conditions that affect weight issues.

Well, I do believe that hormones and the foods you eat change chemical levels in the body.  Thus, changing our moods, etc. And the doctors and scientist that study the human body and medicines try to find soulutions to these mood swings, etc.
