I have only just started on this jolivette and I was hoping that it would not have any side effects because it is a mini pill. But now a friend said that I could still get fat because of jolivette. Is that true? Why didn't my doctor tell me about this? I really don't to put on weight. Hope someone can clear this up for me.
I have been using the jolivette pill for a year now and I never noticed any side effects other than some changes in my menstruation, which is obviously normal for any birth control pill. I certainly did not gain any weight from the pill, and I pretty much eat what I like so I think you should be fine.
How have you been coping with the pill? My doc just started me on it to try and regulate my period, so bleeding throughout the month is not anything that concerns me. I'm more worried about the weight gain and headaches, etc then anything else. I've never had any of those side effects before with any other BC.
