A member asked:
Which birth control would give me the most weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The amount of weight gain on different birth control methods entirely depends upon you and your body. Some women gain weight on any hormone preparation. Depo-provera can cause a lot of weight gain due to the hormonal imbalance it systemically produces. Low dose pills usually cause about a 5# weight gain. Condoms, diaphragms and paraguard iud do not usually cause any weight gain.
