I have recently been on the pill, microgynon to regulate my periods. The doctor told me opf the side effects of it. Thrombosis, weight gain, weight loss, migrains. Well the one im most worried about is the thrombosis and the weight gain. However it is unlikely for me to get thrombosis so weight gain is the biggest problem. At the moment i have already gained a little weight due to no exercise as ive been to concentrated on cw at skool that i just havent got the time but in 2 months i have my prom. Im rele worried im not gonna be able to fit into my dress. My friend had gained a stone and a half from going on the pill and im really worried that is gijng to happen to me. Im not really thin but im not really big either. Ive always wished i could lose weight and i try to do exercise and eat healthy but if i gain weight it will really throw me off and ill get really upset about it.
Is there a certain body type or like lifestyle that the pill makes u gain weight or can it be anyone? ANy tips on trying to keep the weight off if it rele sky rockets? Is there any real chance of me losing weight or is that not common?

when did you start taking this brand of pill? i know that years ago when i was on the pill, i tried several different ones and they all made me gain weight. until i specifically told my dr that i wanted one that had the lowest side effect risk of weight gain. if you've just recently started them, maybe you could ask your dr to do the same for you. different people respond to the samed meds in different ways so its hard to say if you will gain weight on them or not. try not to eat after say 6:00 at night(if possible) thats what i did and i lost weight. stay away from sodas and try to get in atleast 30 min of exercise a day.

I, along with all 7 of my closest girlfriends and my sister have been on Microgynon and not one of us has put on weight as a result of it. Im sure you will be OK if you continue to eat healthily and fit in some exercise around your school work (walk to school instead of taking the bus etc!) Im sure some people do gain weight on the pill, but nobody I know on this type has. :)
