How does birth control make you gain weight?
And how much do you gain?

lol... you do realize what birth control does right? It basically tricks your brain into believing you're an old woman, kills off your hormones. So your motabolism changes of course.

Oh and supposedly there's a study right now where birth control over time sterilizes women.

Well even if it sterilizes me, that's kind of cool --- I don't want children anyway. whistling.gif

The ring made me gain 5 lbs. Yes the doctor told me that it makes your hormones change, but different people have different side effects. You don't constantly gain weight though... If you do, it's kind of your own fault. sweating.gif Plus the side effects ease with time, but it depends on how your body works, really. The side effects of the ring aren't so bad though.

And I didn't really change my diet anyways, so it's not like I ate more. I usually eat the same stuff and whatnot even when I was not on BC.
