A member asked:

Can 0.03 mg levonorgestrel produce more weight gain than: 2.5 + 1.5 mg estradiol nomegestrol? i want to know which one to choose for less weight gain.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: The newer birth control pills do not cause significant weight gain. However, the lowest dose is usually the best choice. You should discuss the options with your physician.
