Does the birth control patch make you gain weight, or does it depend on the body!
Question: You may or may not gain weight on the patch. It exposes you to a much higher dose of hormones than the Pill does, so you may want to switch birth control methods. One option would be NuvaRing, a vaginal ring you replace once a month.
"You will be exposed to about 60% more estrogen if you use ORTHO EVRA than if you use a typical birth control pill containing 35 micrograms of estrogen. In general, increased estrogen may increase the risk of side effects. The risk of venous thromboembolic events (blood clots in the legs and/or the lungs) may be increased with ORTHO EVRA use compared with use of birth control pills."
