im going on birth control and?
by LC on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 | 10 Comments
im 17 and my gyno might put me on birth control for my continuous ovarian cysts.
im really glad because i know it’ll help them go away a lot.
but im also worried b/c i heard you gain weight.
im a model in my schools visual arts classes.
i surf so i have a really good figure.
im 5’8 and 110 pounds.
i eat ALOT though b/c my metabolism is extremely high.
my question is that if i go on birth control will i gain alot of weight like other people usually do even thouhg my metabolism is high?
will it make me not gain weight?
will i have to start watching what i eat?
will it make my chest bigger?
i am a size a and i reallly want the extra size.
please help.
no mean answers.
thanks, aj
Don’t worry about it. Really, you’re over-obsessing with this.
Just take the pill and continue your average lifestyle. If you notice any changes, then make your own changes to balance it out.
You could also stand behind a stalagmite
Birth control can have some UGLY side effects
I wouldn’t recommend it
Why kind of bc are you on?
It seems like you stay pretty active anyways, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Just cut back on the eating see if you are gaining weight.
ask ur doc can u work out
You may gain 5 to 10 pounds, or you may not gain any weight at all. I didn’t gain anything. And if you are already so active, I wouldn’t worry about it affecting you so much! You probably won’t notice much of a difference. Good luck!!
you might gain a little and you might not, it depends on how your body reacts to the hormones. what kind of BC is it? if it’s the shot, you might have mood swings for the first six months you take it, but they go away if you stick it out.
Depends what birth control your going on. You should tell your gyno about your concern with weight gain and see if she can prescribe you on that doesn’t add weight. I know theirs a few birth control pills which are like that. One pill in which I have a friend who is currently on is Yaz, and she has gained some weight because of it. If you stay active and exercise you should be fine. Hope this helps.
my friend is on bc the one they put under your skin on your arm area and she’s lost A LOT of weight…she used to have a nice figure and now she weighs way less than me and im 5’6 and 106 lbs…she’s way skinny and she has a one year old child…idk some people react differently to it.
birth control isnt bad jus dont get the shot
