Avatar f tn Hi! Could you help me with a question on birth control pills? I was on a triphasic pill for years (Tri Sprintec). It was good for keeping acne under control (which is why I originally went on it at age 20). But in the last few years I began suffering from extreme fatigue, lots of water retention, vaginal dryness, etc, and as all my tests were normal my PCP suggested the pill was causing it.
Avatar f tn It's been a year now since I stopped taking birth control and I haven't stopped bleeding since. These past 2 months I've actually had a normal 4-7 day period. A month before that I would bleed for 5 days then be off for 2 weeks then back to bleeding again. I had a normal period beginning of this month so I thought my body was finally starting to regulate itself but 1 week later I'm bleeding again. It's been 3 days in and my flow has been heavier than usual.
Avatar f tn t give me false info) but the pills always worked for me and the t shape thing makes you gain weight. I suggest nuvo ring or pills because shot also can make you gain weight. Good luck.
Avatar f tn So I started taking Tri-Sprintec a little over 3 months ago. For history, I was using the Nuvaring for w years prior to this and never had any issues. But about 2 months ago, I noticed my stomach was started to stick out more than it had in the past. I was not gaining weight on the scale and had recently lost weight before this. I have been watching it and noticed that it is getting worse. I also bloat even more after eating. My fingers swell and fluctuate in size.
10370221 tn?1409648755 Hello! I have been taking birth control pills (Sprintec) nonstop for 7 years now. I am currently in Europe (will be here for a while) and I am about to run out of pills. I have not found a doctor here yet who can prescribe me more. I am also not able to get in contact with my OBGYN in America. Everyone I talk to here (family, friends, etc.) say that I should just take a break from BC.

Avatar f tn I hust started a new pack of birth control pills this month. I used to take tri-lo-sprintec tablet generic for (ortho tri-cyclen LO) for the past 6 six years, but in Michigan we do not have it in generic form anymore. Therefore this month i started taking Eth estradi/norgestimate and I feel very lazy and sleepy all the time and I see that I have been gaining weight. My question is is what I am taking now the same as what I was taking before because that is what the pharmacy told me?
Avatar f tn Hi Kay, Here is something you may find intresting Tri-Sprintec contains female hormones and therefore alters your female gynecological symptoms. Tri-Sprintec typically causes nausea, bloating, stomach cramps, breast pain, vaginal discharge, menstrual irregularities and changes in your appetite and weight. Tri-Sprintec can affect your appearance and cause increased hair growth, loss of hair or freckling of your skin. It can cause nervousness, a headache and fatigue.
Avatar f tn Furthermore I been having symptoms of fatigue, nausea every now and then, loss of appetite, and weight gain, but I notice this when I started to take the birth control and I thought they were just the side effects of taking it. But now I have missed two periods and I'm starting to worry. So do I need to take a pregnancy test ASAP? HELP ME PLEASE!
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 What is your favorite birth control ? Least favorite ? Ugly side effects ? Ill be 26 weeks in a few days and wanna start thinking about if i want to take BC and whst kind i want.
Avatar m tn I trust her judgement with placing me on both of those medications, but what worries me is that it may be too much of a hormone change for my body. I know that birth control pills increase estrogen levels in the body and that spironolactone is an antiandrogen drug, and naturally the body will replace androgens with estrogen. I'm scared that my already slow metabolism will slow down further with these medications and that I'll gain weight that I worked so hard to lose.
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 n tn If you are on birth control then you typically should expect your period during the placebo week. Take a test then.
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 f tn Depo takes effect as soon as you get it. It worked great for me as far as not getting pregnant but I had horrible mood swings, acne, and my appetite was out of control. It doesn't do everyone like that but all birth control has some type of side effects!
Avatar f tn m allergic to a lot! As well as I already gained a lot! From the baby nd birth control also makes u gain weight!
Avatar f tn HI, The birth control pills may cause some weight gain, often due to fluid retention. But the weight gain is not of significant amounts, and not for most women. Several types of hormonal birth control are available. Birth control pills typically rely upon a combination of estrogens and progesterone and a lower dose pill may cause less weight gain. Hence if you have to take the pill then, choose a low-dose contraceptive which will reduce the risks of side effects, including weight gain.
