A member asked:
Have gained a lot of weight since starting yaz. is it just water weight and how long until i will go back to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water weight: Oral contraceptive pills do not cause weight gain, however some women do notice that they retain more fluid when they are taking the pill. If you feel you have gained significant weight (more than 10 lbs) you may want to see a doctor. Although the pill doesn't usually cause weight gain, everyone is an individual!
