Does oral contraceptive pill make a woman gain weight? or can make it difficult for her to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe/not : The side effects of a given pill are specific to the individual. They contain hormones which are similar to those made naturally by women. Some will experience weight gain some not. There are non-hormonal BC choices like the copper IUD or condoms.
