Re: Repost NWR: BCP question
Hiya, not entirely possitive, but I don't think there is a way around it, it all depends on how your body react to the hormones.
I've gained a whole bunch of weight since I started. If there is a way around it I would love to know as well!

Join the club!!! Thats why i've put off going back on them but since im supposed to get it on my wedding day (im never late) I have to start taking them again..
I mentioned weight gain to my doctor and he put me on Ortho tricyclin Low and he said to drink a lot of water and exercise ( duh!) .. whatever we'll see what happens. Good luck!

Re: Repost NWR: BCP question
Why don't you ask if a low hormone pill can help with the weight gain. There are supposedly less side effects.

Re: Repost NWR: BCP question
talk to your gyno. they might have different brands or doses that you could use. each type does something different.

Yasmin works. If you are concerned about weight gain with the pill then I suggest starting an exercise program at the same time that you start the pill. What you gain is water and should not be too hard to lose.
