In some people: Contraceptives are hormones and have the capacity, even at their low dose, to cause weight gain in some people. This is true of all contraceptives, although in my experience depoprovera seems to cause this more often. Not all women will gain weight when taking contraceptives, most will not. An iud or condom use will not cause weight gain.
