im really low on estrogen and was planning to take ortho tri cyclen since it has more estrogen in it and is a bit safer than HRT(hormone replacement therapy) so if i take that BC, will i gain the weight I need to and develope because the low estrogen is stopping those things from happening I really do not suggest ortho tri cyclen. others may love it but for myself and others I know it did more damage than good.
there are many birth control pills out there- if I were you I'd look into a different one.

this site is great! You can prove with another pill like Seasonale, this pill doesn't give you problems with your menstruation. If you are gaining weight it's due to your body and your metabolism, beacuse one of the side effects of birth control pills is the overweight, but it's not in every body.
If you want more information about Seasonale or other birth control pills, please visit this website. It's very interesting because you can make your question online too:
http://www.trustedprescriptionsonline.co... I take the same BC. I havent experienced any side effects from them. I've been on it for a year and have yet to gain any extra weight from it. I think its pretty good but if you are uncertain, try talking to your OB/GYN about what you should do. |
