if your BCP didnt make you gain weight, post it here
yes, i realize that different bcp's affect certain people differently, but im just curious which ones have the best track record- or if its a bunch of random ones
TIA!

So it technically DID make you gain weight, just not in your belly
As for me, I've had a problem with every single pill I ever took, so I'm not really a help. Say "no" to the patch!

Yasmin - weight loss but it also caused a little black cloud to follow me around.

Re: if your BCP didnt make you gain weight, post it here
I have been on Desogen for years-- and really like it.
I had a horrible experience with Yasmin..
I am very sensitive to these pills-- even when my pharmacist gives me the generic version of Desogen it affects me-- which is why I now pay $40/month for the name brand.

Nuvaring-no weight gain and the patch but I recommend the Ring over patch.

Othro Tri Cyclen Reg or Low. It is also good for your skin.

Re: if your BCP didnt make you gain weight, post it here
My dr. told me lately that they recently found that pills don't make you gain weight.
I've been on quite a few with no gain on any. Well, some weight gain, but none I think that can be attributed to the pill! To be honest, I think weight gain is a natural thing as you get older, and people blame the pill for what happens naturally.

Re: if your BCP didnt make you gain weight, post it here
Orthotricyclen Lo - no side effects (It's non-preferred on my prescription plan, so I pay $40 a month for it or $80 mail away for 3 mos.)
Yeah, say No to the patch. I dont think my gyno will even prescribe it anymore.

Re: if your BCP didnt make you gain weight, post it here
My doc told me that the pill doesn't make you gain weight. The introduction of the hormone into your body causes you to be hungrier so some may gain weight.

Re: if your BCP didnt make you gain weight, post it here
Honestly, I know everyone is concerned about weight gain, but the side effects I experienced are worse than a few extra pounds.
Low sex drive, mid cycle spotting, depression....

Re: if your BCP didnt make you gain weight, post it here
yasmin was best for me -no side effects when I was on the pill. I never gained weight with it - if anything I felt it help maintain weight or lose a couple pounds.
Others I tried others that totally made me gain weight (I don't gain weight easy either) and definitely made me depressed.

Ahh, very interesting.
I was on OTC reg then switched to OTC low a few months ago.........no weight change.

Othro Tri Cyclen Reg or Low. It is also good for your skin.
I used to use this one and experienced no weight gain and my skin looked really good while I was using it.

Re: if your BCP didnt make you gain weight, post it here
I switched recently from the patch to OTC Lo and I lost a ton of weight (I also changed my diet a bit, but think that this defintely wasn't just a change in diet).
