    Default birth control

    hi ladies,
    can anyone recommend a birth control pill that is least likely to cause weight gain?
    thanks.

    Ortho Tri-Cyclen. (Or you could date all of my ex-boyfriends and get turned off of sex. That's my form of birth control!)

    I've had the patch and the pill and none of those made me gain weight. I do know by my friends experience that the depo shot WILL make you gain weight.

    I had the depo shot and didnt gain weight, not one bit. But, everyone is different and responds to the pill different. I would ask the dr.

    it depends on the individual and their body chemistry. One method of synthetic hormones, depo, nuva ring, patch, pill or whatever might not cause weight gain or other side effects in someone but cause major side effects for you. Best bet is to try a low dose for a month see if it works for you.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    Yasmin is an awsome birth control pill and it helps with bloating.

    We're all individuals that is the reason why there are different forms of birth control available. I personally am a depo-devotee. I initially and originally started with the pill however did have side-effects with it.

    The only side effect of the depo shot that I have is the lack of periods. I do not find that scary at all and see it as a vacation

    I didn't gain weight from Depo at all... I've been using it for years now and I'm at a good weight.

    Wow, both my friends who had Depo shots gained ALOT of weight and have not managed to loose it. Both went from size 8 - 10 to 16 and 18.

    I like Yasmin. I was on Depo for 9 months and it totally made me lose my sex drive but no weight gain.
