A member asked:

Is weight gain a side effect of yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) pill? was taking depo-provera provera but experienced weight gain so i stopped.what are common side effects of yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not weight gain: Depotprovera stimulates the appetite center in the brain and makes women taking in more calories than needed - you may gain 60 lbs. Combination birth control pills containing estrogen make your body retain water and you may gain 2-3 pounds. While in the majority of women weight gain on birth control pills may not be an issue, individually women may gain much more for reasons not understood.
