Which estrogen components in birth control pills can cause more weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control: Most birth control pills contain the same type of estrogen component which is ethinyl estradiol. There no evidence that i know of that a different form of estrogen will lower the chance of weight gain.
