Hello there!
I'd like to hear people's experiences:
what type of pill
and what weight you gained or lost on it,
including breast growth.
Years ago Ortho Tri Cyclen made me lose weight and increase in cup size. And I had been skinny to begin with!
The 2nd time I went on it I gained a ton of weight, but I think that would have happened anyway at the time (I was in college and pigging out), and my breasts grew again. (of course when I stopped they returned to their normal size).
I just started Femcon FE and am on a major diet. Despite losing my apetite form the pill (It's upsetting my stomach like ortho tri cyclen did as well) I've gained 1/2 lb/day!! I'm not going to keep up with it if this continues.
Thanks for your help!

I've used lots of birth control and I don't have much trouble with most of it.
Ortho Evra patch: I gained about 3 lbs and had breast growth
Depo: I haven't gained but I haven't lost my baby weight either. It seems harder to lose weight on this and it's the only hormonal bc proven to cause weight gain
No effect on weight/breasts:
Mircette pill
Necon 1/35 pill
Triphasil pill
Norplant, progestin only implant in arm
Nuvaring
It takes 3500 calories to gain a pound, so unless you're eating an extra 1750 calories a day, it's pretty likely that the 1/2 pound on the scale is water weight.
