A member asked:

L have poly ovarian sandromes and my doctor gave me diane35 pills but it may cause gain weight is there alternative and i am still breastfeeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weight gain and OCP: Birth control prills contain estrogen and progesterone-like chemicals. Estrogen does not cause weight gain but progesterone-like medication does. The worst problems with weight gain occur with depo-provera shots usually given every three months.
