When I got my pills i asked a doctor. she told me that if you do gain weight at most you will gain 5 punds. Some people gain weight, some people lose weight, and some people stay exactly the same. It just depends on how YOUR body reacts to the hormones.
You should wait about a month before you start having sex without condoms.
The pills affects everyone differantly, ive never known a woman to gain a large amount from them, so i wouldnt worry.
And about the condoms just because you take the pill doesnt mean you should stop using condoms.. The pills doesnt protect you from STD"S keep using condoms.
Most of the pill causes weight gain. If you use some newer version then the weight gain may be not so much. Sometimes taking vitamine E capsule may reduce your weight gain. Try to take a pill containing less amount of hormone and newer version of hormone.
If you start taking the pill From the first day of your menstruation then you dont have to use condom from the same month, and if you start it from the 5th day then you have to wait for 7 days from the starting of pill, for further delay of starting you have to wait for the whole month. For further detail about your pill you will get it from the leaflet inside your packet of pill. You can consult your doctor also for the right pill.
Good luck........
depends on the birth control i can tell you from personal experience that the depo shot will most likely make you gain weight i'm on yasmin now and haven't had any problems with weight gain
i lost about 20 lbs over a year when i started the pill.....
i know its from the pill because my diet, and exercise habits have stayed the same (which is not watching what i eat, and rarely exercising.)
