Does birth control make you bloated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: If the oral contraceptive you are on is not the right one for you , it could cause bloating.For example, if the pill does not suppress cyst formation, you may experience bloating. I noticed you are on a tri phasic pill(ortho tri-cyclen). You may want to try the mono phasic form of that pill combination ( ortho cyclen). See your provider for a more thorough discussion.
