Yes, as you may have noticed, there is a correlation
between being on birth control and experiencing weight gain. The birth
control pill affects women's weight in different ways. Some women gain
weight while using the Pill, while other women lose weight.
Some women have temporary fluid retention during
the first month or so after starting the Pill. Some women gain weight
as a side effect of estrogen use. This weight gain develops in the hips,
thighs, and breasts.
Sometimes weight gain can be managed by changing
to a different pill. If not, caloric reduction and increased exercise
may be required. The pill is a very safe, effective means of birth control.
Side effects such as weight gain are usually manageable while on the
pill.
