A member asked:
Wanting to go on the pill because i have really bad acne due to pcos. i am afraid of not being able to loose weight while on the pill though.

Don't worry: Most birth control pills are not associated with weight gain, especially the newer pills with the newer progestins and lower doses of estrogen. Weight is easier to address than the acne and hormonal disturbances of pcos ….Follow your doctor's advice about the pills.
