What is the safest birth control to take for water weight gain swellind of the arms legs breast during menstrual cycle dr recently put me on beyaz to treat the symptoms but do not like what i hear about the pill

Water : Water retention and weight gain can happen to some patients taking birth control pills. Taking the a pill with a lower estrogen amount in it can decrease the complaint of weight gain and swelling. You can ask your doctor about a pill with a lower estrogen component. There are other non-estrogen alternatives such as Mirena (levonorgestrel) and Implanon (these are implantable devices, Mirena (levonorgestrel) is inserted through the uterus and Implanon into the arm) which have a lower rate of weight gain and swelling for most women. Increasing fluids that you drink and decreasing salt can be helpful for some women as well.

Combination "pill": An oral contraceptive, which is a combination of both estrogen and Progesterone will be the safest oral contraceptive. Progesterone only in high dosage prevents ovulation 97-99% of the time and estrogen negative feedback on the leutinizing hormone prevents lh surge, which is necessary for ovulation.Thanks.
