Reply from Kelly, Age 15 - 08/03/07 - IP#: 216.101.185.xxx I know someone who gained twenty pounds after starting birth control, so it's possible. Obviously it doesn't happen to everyone.

Reply from Stacy, Age 17 - 08/02/07 - IP#: 70.18.69.xxx Hi...ive been wondering too. I am looking into going on it for health reasons too and i have heard the rumor that it causes weight gain. However, I have talked to a few people and they have not had an effect on their weight. Just be sure to stress to the doc ur concerns b/c there are many diff brands and doses that can be prescribed and that will work for you.
