What birth control pill doesn't make you gain weight?!
Question: I haven't been on birth control pills for at least 10 years... I'm sure they have changed somewhat since then. They made me gain weight, but I'm wondering if there is a particular brand that has a reputation for not making you gain weight?

I would say tricyclen low. It's a lower doss of hormons so it affects your body less in the sense of breast growth or weight gain.
I take yasmin, and that is one that doesn't make you gain. It also helps for acne and just breakouts all together, so you get 3 in 1! :) ...my insurance doesn't cover it so its about $52 a month without, but it works wonders and you get the bonuses!!
any pill that is a "low dose" pill has the least side effects. They have changed alot in 10 years. now, pills have less estrogen and are just as effective as the old pills.
Well there have been some advances- like lower dose pills with only 20mcg of oestrogen in (like loestrin and alesse). There are also some third generation pills like Marvelon and Yasmin which have been shown to have as many women lose weight on them as gain. Best thing to do is try a couple and see.
Use aspirin, 100% effective & no side effects.
Just hold it tight between your knees.
i use ortho-tricyclen low and i haven't gained weight... i've been on it for over a year.
i also used luptera and i gained at least ten pounds with that, i was on that for about two years. so don't get that =]
Birth control doesn't actually make people gain weight, it just gives you a larger appetite.
i'm on aviane, and have yet to experience any weight gain.
Its different for every woman, but I've been on Kariva for almost two years and haven't gained weight because of it.
