Weight Gain On the Pill
Posted: 12-24-03 02:22am

I have been on mircette for a little less than 2 1/2 months. I have already gained a lot of weight. Most of it seems to be in my belly. My breasts have gotten considerably larger also though. Is this normal and do people tend to gain the weight in their bellies if they gain it from the pill?

Yeah, you are probably extremely bloated. And when you gain weight it usually starts in your belly and breasts. But if you continue to gain and it is bothersome, ask your doctor to switch your pills. I have been on several different pills and none of them ever made me gain weight. If you find one with the right hormones for your body, you will most likely not gain.
