A member asked:
If i'm over weight as in 302 pounds will my birth control pills stop working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
302: No, your weight won't stop your birth control pills. But you do need to go on a diet starting immediately. Please have your doctor refer you to a dietitian. Don't try to lose weight in a hurry - 25-40 pounds weight loss a year will keep you on track for a few years.
