Q: the Pill And Weight Gain

Ok so here's another one about the pill....Did anyone gain weight while they were on the pill? Because thats another reason why i'm debating going on it...My aunt went on it and gained a lot of weight, and I have friends who gained weight too when they went on it. So i'm really afraid...And can you breastfeed on the pill??? Lol i've never been on it before, so I really don't know anything...I just know that I need some kind of contraception for after I have my baby. Thanks!! <3

I've actually lost a little weight on it. But I was on depo before. I don't know about the bf on the pill. I think that's something you should discuss with your doctor.

Weight gain has become a big big [no pun intended !] issue for me ever since I started the pill about 2 months ago. I feel like eating everything in sight ! I'm normally about a size 6 or 7 .. But I think i've gained some pounds since starting bc.
