Not everyone gains weight, but some people do. It also depends on the type of bc pills you're on. I've never gained weight on them but I know of others who have.

Re: birth control pills and weight

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

Re: birth control pills and weight

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.
