A member asked:

What birth control is best for plus size women ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: They all have good and bad sides. The pills may be a good option. The Implanon one that gets put in your arm has a weight restriction to be under 200 pounds. The Progesterone shot can also add more weight gain. Condoms and spermicide can be a good option also. You can discuss this with your doctor also.
