Answers: If I eat & workout the same as before.
It all depends on the type of birth control you're on and your body type. From personal experience I didn't gain weight on birth control, but everyone is different. Most women I've talked to have gained weight because they had a bigger appetite while on the pill, and that's what lead to the weight gain, not just taking the pill itself. A small percentage of women do report weight gain, but it's not significant. I wouldn't worry about it!
Very small. Birth control sometimes increases your ability to retain water, especially around your period. Most people experience no weight gain. If any, it is maybe a .5-1 pound of fluid. There is a ton of research that proves this. I am also on the birth control pill, and have been able to maintain my weight. A lot of women gain weight, and blame it on the birth control pill. However, the birth control shot has been proven to increase weight on women. This has been proven with research. Many women gain weight with the shot, and stop using it because of this. I would suggest using pills or the nuva ring.
