A member asked:
What is the aspect of the pill/ patch/ ring etc. etc. that makes women gain weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight gain: On bcp or patch or ring is infrequent. But if it occurs it can be due to water retention so just holding on to water. Or it can be due to the woman craving carbs - and eating too much bread, rice, pasta, etc. However most women don't gain weight on todays low dose bcp.
