Birthcontrol weight gain

Ok so I started yaz and I’ve gained 5 pounds and have crazy cravings. My boobs are uncomfortably to big. Is there anything I can do about this instead of switching birthcontrols? Or to reverse it so I loose weight

Answer #1

Different pills cause different side effects with women, you may want to shop around and try another one. My wife went through about 3 different kinds before she found the right one.

Answer #2

Yasmin is one of the heavier birthcontrol pills…try switching to a different lighter one, some people just have different effects on different pill and there won’t be much you can do (except changing pills)

Answer #3

It can be difficult to find the right birth control pill I was on one type…and I had a period none stop for THREE WEEKS. Yeah, very annoying. The pill doesnt actually cause weight gain It increases appitite… Therefore you eat more. Try to stick to a health balanced diet and control your craving for sweets and stuff. 5 pounds is nothing. I’ve been on birth control for around 8 months now… and I’ve gained 9 pounds because I love my food too much and I have to give inot my cravings Admittedly, it was amuch needed 9 pounds… but any way. Dont worry about you weight. Most birth control pills increase appetite so you are just going to have to watch what you eat.
