A member asked:
I recently came off of ocella (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) birth control. i have heard that people have gained weight as a result, is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Birth control pills do not affect weight gain. That is a myth. Eating and exercise are the way to control weight.
