For people who do gain weight from it, two to five pounds is normal. Anything beyond ten pounds is most likely completely unrelated weight gain that people prefer to blame on their birth control rather than having to come to terms with the fact that they should lay off the twinkies.

Lucyintheskywithd iamonds	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 2:50PM Birth control is great, not just good. Gaining weight when you are an adult and weight only 85 pounds might save your life. I'm surprised you are still fertile at that weight. Rated: +3Vote for this!
r8r4	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 2:17PM Let's just say you'd put on a lot more weight if you were preggers. Can't speak for the shot, but you do put on weight with the pill but for most people it's only a couple of pounds. Rated: +2Vote for this!

avalonleppard	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 12:32PM My sister had it and she put weight on....but it stabalised after about 6months.......I think this would be good for you as you must be underweight! Rated: +1Vote for this!
LonelyYiska	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 12:25PM I don't care WHAT people or doctors say, birth control made me gain weight. 20 pounds. I watched the hell out of my eating and I still gained. Now I quit. So this may be good for you. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Roserick22	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 12:28PM There's a shot now for birth control? I probably wouldn't get it. But, that's just my opinion. They find out too many negative consequences down the road about alot of these new drugs and medications Rated: +1Vote for this!

allcriedoutfornow	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 2:22PM I knew a couple of people who had this and they both gained weight. It was only on the tummy and hips so it really noticed. They both came off it at different times and lost the weight without changing their eating habits. It may be different for you but personally, I'd avoid it. Rated: +1Vote for this!
