A member asked:
What birth control pill does not cause weight gain? i want to know if levonorgestrel 0.03 mg or 2.5 mg estradiol + 1, 5 nomegestrol cause weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Options: In general, the low dose combination pills (20mcg of estrogen) do not cause weight gain. Pregnancy, however, does! so it's probably worth taking the very small chance of a few pounds on the pill rather than the very good chance of an in unintended pregnancy.
