Avatar m tn I was the same way as you, being nervous about gaining weight and I honestly did not want to get on birth control but I was 17 at the time so I had no choice. I am used to being skinny. I was a senior in high school wearing a size 2, and since I've been taking it I've gained a lot of weight in my abdomen area and in my butt. I went from a size 2 to a size 5 in these past couple of months.
Avatar f tn Both low-dose and continuous cycle birth control can contribute to spotting. If you tell your doctor your experiences and concerns about weight gain, they may able find one that hits the sweet spot.
8550901 tn?1400740690 pills all nut two made me gain weight, Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, and Lo Loestrin Fe, I also tried the Nuva ring and sex was never the same after that, and I was on the shot and that made me crazy, all birth controls are different for everybody
Avatar f tn Hello, Birth control pills cannot hinder or increase your chances o conception but you can get pregnant as soon as you stop taking these birth control pills. These pills however can cause weight gain. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar m tn Interesting. Did you have weight gain issues? I ask because I don't (and when I do gain weight, it's in my legs- I have permanent cankles regardless of my weight).
Avatar f tn However, over the past few years I believe that ortho-tricylen has caused me to gain weight and feel extra anxious. My pill pack is ending this sunday and I was toying with the idea of stopping my birth control all together to see if the symptoms were indeed from ortho-tricylen. My ideal solution would be to find a pill with lower symptoms but this has stumped my gynecologist and primary physician, as a lower dose pill seems to cause spotting for me.
737515 tn?1252552423 I have had severe anxiety problems before and they are terrible. I am sorry that you are having trouble with them & finding a birth control that works. I would NOT recommend YAZ...it's the only birth control that has had truly debilitating effects on my mood. I've experienced depression, anxiety, headaches, weird breathing/yawning side effects, you name it...
1674462 tn?1304114750 I am not sure that birth control will really help with endo pain. I know that it will slow down the growth of the endometriosis though. As far as pain relief, I have heard that ice or heat packs help along with anti-inflamitories. If those don't seem to help talk to your doctor again. They may be able to prescribe you something OR, I know where I am from they have physical therapy that can also help with Endo pain. Maybe you could look into something like that.
Avatar f tn Did u have irregular bleeding before starting birth control? Any bleeding in between periods?
Avatar f tn I've been taking Loestrin birth control pills for only a week and I had unprotected sex is there a possibiliy I could become pregnant?
Avatar f tn I don't think it would have any effect on the baby at this stage. Just make sure you stop taking it now. If you are really concerned check with your doctor but I don't think you have anything to worry about being that you are early in your pregnancy.
Avatar n tn what birth control doesnt make you gain weight cause im 15 and just got diagnosed with pmdd and i need something that will help me with that and also keep my weight stable.....
Avatar n tn Does the birth control make you gain weight? I heard you can get implanted birth control but I don't wanna get that!!!
9690628 tn?1406826013 hey guys which is a great one to get I want to get the one they put in your arm but I heard it has a lot of weight gain...
Avatar f tn s body is different, however my two sister in laws have the paraguard and it works amazingly for them they each have had it ok for almost 2 years. No birth control seems to be right for me so I have decides no both control here.
Avatar f tn Hey what kind of birth control are you considering after birth??? Has anyone ever been on the depo shot? How did your body react? My friend has done the depo shot two different times and each time she has gained alot of weight with it, anyone else experience weight gain? I would like to do the depo shot bc I know I cant remember to always take the pill but I already have a hard time losing weight any advice???
Avatar f tn Which kind of birth control works best? I also dont want to gain weight from it.
Avatar f tn After pregnancy your doctors recommend you to go on birth control. But I'm going to try the IUD a few my friends told me it was good, no weight gain or hormones. No complications. I wouldn't do the shot it has a lot of hormones and makes you gain weight like crazy. At the end it's all about what you feel comfortable with.
Avatar m tn When I was 17, I started taking Lo Loestrin Fe birth control pills. I took them until my sophomore year of college, which I stopped in Feb. 2015 because I was on antibiotics and was not sexually active at the time, anyway. I had no side effects while taking this pill & still received a regular period, from what I can remember. This past July I decided to get back on the pill, as my migraines with my period were getting worse and I was once again sexually active.
