I've never gained weight on them but I know of others who have. ambb106 02-03-2007, 12:40 PM it depends on how much hormones are it in.. if its a high dose or not.. the higer the dose it makes you hungry therefore leading to you gaining weight.. the pill itself doesnt not make somone magically gain weight hope that helps :) livinTX 02-03-2007, 12:47 PM I had a bad reaction to Ovcon 35--severe water retention that caused my weight to go up 20 lb. in 1 month (I'm not kidding). My feet and legs and knees were so swollen it hurt to even clean house. It was almost all water weight though this pill made me ravenous as well. I'm almost 8 months off it, my hormones are still imbalanced but my water retention is much better, and I've lost 12 lb. now. On other pills, I didn't notice a weight change. babydiva 02-03-2007, 01:02 PM I hope when I go on them I'll gain a lil more weight. apple999 02-19-2007, 03:07 AM It totally depends. When I was on Levora I gained weight, but switched to Ortho Evra, which has been fine. KittenPaws 02-19-2007, 09:20 AM I gained about 40 lbs on Ovcon 35, couldnt lose it either until i totally went off it. :( MoonLight0 02-20-2007, 01:15 PM They say that the pill doesn't cause weight gain, and even if you do for whatever reason gain weight, it should be more than 3-4lbs. I've been on OTC Lo for 2 years and I gained about 8lbs or so. I never had major weight issues before, and now since i started taking it I have obviously gained, and my hands, fingers, arms, legs feel soooooo swollen sometimes (especially when I first get up in the morning). They can say whatever they want about it, but I know for a fact that I wouldn't have gained any weight if I didn't start taking the pill. Like everyone else metioned, it depends on the type of pill you're taking. But there is definitely a chance that you may gain some. waddellmccoy 02-24-2007, 09:17 PM does anyone know if being on birth control causes weight gain? I have been on Kariva for 2 years and I have gained 28pds...Which is why Ive always hated BC...Not only that but Ive lost so much hair...Cant wait to get off them and get them out of my system |
