Has anyone had severe weight gain while taking tri-levlen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure, some have: Hormonal manipulations, including birth control pills can affect weight gain (or loss). Some people have had more change than they want. Check that there aren't other factors at work, e.g. Emotional eating affected by the hormonal changes of the bcp. Check with your doc.
