I have gained 15 pounds on ortho tricyclin lo. I have never had a problem with weight gain until I started taking this. I still have the same eating and exercise habits and the only change is the pill i'm on. Estrostep is my personal fav. birth control but they don't offer it in CT. Good luck.

In response to the person talking about the IUD you do not have to have been pregnant before you use it. Anyone can use the IUD. There is hormonal, and non hormonal. Non hormonal birth control does not cause weight gain.
I'm currently on Yasmin and I've gained almost 20 lbs in about 6 months.
I WAS ON DEPO PROVERA FROM AGE 16 TO 22 DURING WHICH I GAINED ABOUT 10-15 LBS PER YEAR. WHEN I GOT OFF IT TOOK ALMOST 2 YEARS FOR MY CYCLE TO RETURN TO NORMAL AND FOR MY HUSBAND AND I TO BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE! I ALSO LOST EVERY POUND AND WAS BACK AT MY 11TH GRADE WEIGHT! AFTER I HAD MY DAUGHTER I THOUGH I COULD GO BACK AND MONITOR THE WEIGHT GAIN BUT I GAINED 50 LBS BEFORE I GAVE UP AND SWITCHED. I TAKE YAZ NOW AND HAVN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS...
the IUD does cause weight gain. i have it now thats why i am searching these topics! its amazing other than that reason!!
Every contraceptive effects people differently, and I'm also in need of a contraception that doesn't cause weight gain. I am on the Implanon and gained 25 kgs in around 8 months, despite maintaining a strict diet and regular(and sometimes strenuous) excerscise. I am over 100 kgs and cannot afford to gain anymore. I'm at a loss.
I had the IUD and withing a month I gained 15lbs, I had it for a total of 7 months and gained 30lbs so I had it taken out!!!
i really need help finding some kind of birth control that will not make me gain weight. i struggled with a wight problem and i would hate to gain the weight back with all my hard work! i need the best recomendation please!
I also took Depo and gained 90 pounds in 4 years, I had no idea a birth control could put this much weight on a person but as soon as I was off of it the weight fell off with almost no change in my diet or exercise (all 90 pounds) 40 of it in about 2 months, this shot is horrible- and was absolutely the cause of my weight gain. I have been off it for 8 years now and maintained my weight. I was also never overweight prior to taking it- scary stuff!!
i've heard that bc doesn't directly cause weight gain. weight gain results from increased appitite due to larger does of estrogen
that is a lie i have had the mirena(iud) for 2 years now and in that two years i have gained over 50 pounds. im getting it taken out tomorrow.
