A member asked:
Is there a birth control that doesn't cause weight gain, hair loss or tremors?

Contraceptive choice: Hi. No birth control should cause tremors. Some women experience weight gain and/or hair loss with estrogen/progestin BCPs or progestin devices. There are IUDs, condoms, diaphragms, cervical cap. Talk with your gyn about what may work best for you. Good luck!

Yes.: The lower dose pills are not associated with any of these side effects. Also could consider using condoms, IUD, implants, progesterone only depot preparations.

Yes: Birth control pills contrary to most believe have minimal effect on weight usually due to water retention and effect of estrogen. Doubt BCP and trmor association. Discuss with your doctor trial of different BCP with higher progesteron
