A member asked:

Does emergency contraception cause weight gain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: But remember emergency contraception is supposed to be taken only in an emergency, it's not an every day medication. For routine contraception use some other method and make sure it protects you from HIV and STD's as well.
