Does the pill(birth control)really make you put on weight?


I have recently started taking the pill again,i`ve been taking it for about a month now after coming off it for about 2 months,i lost weight easier for some reason when i wasn`t taking it and i`ve now put on 4lb in 2 weeks after starting it again,does it really increase your appetite?

Birth control pills evoke a variety of hormonal responses within the female body, that tricks the menstrual cycle into not happening, and out of the process from these hormonal responses, physical changes occur. When the female body is impregnated (as the pill makes the body think it is) other hormonal reactions will also happen, and for the safety and health of the birth process, for both the mother (and the "baby"), some of these processes the body will create for this healthy pregnancy, include a few different measures within the body that tend to make women gain weight, as if while they are pregnant, which may include the miracle of the females body during pregnancy (and maybe even when not-you live longer), to desire foods (which may include MORE food-or groups thereof), that which the body senses its balances are lacking (i.e. vitamins, minerals-and many other balances to promote these miraculous benefits/needs, the body demands during pregnancy. Many hormones are involved in this process, so please don't make me list them all. I am just answering your question in a way that will help you better understand in the most complete and informative way. I feel that if you took a multi-vitamin, that this should stave off MOST of the bodys extra craving for food-but realize water retention is still there to promote good metabolism, retention of minerals needed, and electrolytic balance. Also, if you smoke, realize that some of the minerals that may cause this water retention are probably being used to bind to the toxins in the body and pass them, so quit smoking on the pill for THIS reason, and also realize that cancer rates increase when women smoke while on the pill. Have a great day.
it depends on the pills
you must visit a doctor in order to get the good ones for your ur body
so my gf tells me!!!
everyone is different, i gained wieght getttin off the pill
This can happen to some people unfortunately.

When you're hungry make sure you eat snacks that are good for you instead of crisps etc.

Good luck!
I cant answer why it does this to your appetite but yes it is well known for making you put on weight - the combined pill doesnt do this though (is this the one you carry on taking and no breaks in between I cant remember) well years ago after if effected my weight big time I changed to this one and I didnt put the weight on after this.
yeah it does...But don't go on a diet yet...Wait a little while.
