Does apri cause weight gain?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe: In general birth control pills do not cause either weight loss or weight gain. However, a small number of women may experience weight changes when they start the pill. If it continues after you have been on the pill for a month or two you may want to change to a different pill.

Yes: Like many oral contraceptives, Apri can cause increased weight and appetite. Discuss with pcp/gyn whether a different oc might have less effect on weight. Watch caloric intake. Drink water before meal to reach satiety more quickly. Exercise 20-30 minutes daily to counter added weight.
