Can you tell me what to do about birth control pill and weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Watch diet: Birth control pills do not actually make you gain weight. It all comes down to how many calories you eat and how many calories you burn each day. Pregnancy causes actual weight gain. Try to increase activity and make lower calorie food choices.
