Teen on Birth Control, gaining weight?

I have recently started a higher dose of birth control due to even more irregular periods.
I am eating better and exercising more but i am gaining alot of weight.
Could it be from the birth control?
What can i do to fix this problem and lose this mysterious gained weight ?

side note: Okay so i know now it makes you gain weight, can anyone give me details or answers why it makes you gain weight and what to do about it?

Try switching birth control. Some with less estrogen may help...ask your physician.

pretty common

yes there is. ask your doc about it. there are all kinds of things like the shot that work too. and there are like 100 different fourms of the little pink/blue/white pill

Yes. It's called water retention. No worries, the majority of that weight will go away after about 2 months.

You might still be maturing. That would make you gain weight.

i think it is just the natural process of your body growth. as you grow, your body is changing by gaining that weight, so just continue to eat healthy foods and excercise whenever you have the chance!

yes it has to be the birth control you are using that happened with me when i was on the pill you might want to talk to your Doctor about this if you believe the weight gain is a problem

The pills will make you gain weight. Just wait awhile until your body gets use to the pill.

Nothing to be concern about.

Birth control make your body think it is pregnant. So your body gains weight thinking it is pregnant

Birth control pills make you gain weight.

its is very common for this sort of thing to happen. talk to your doctor.

It is common to gain weight while taking birth control pills however you may want to consult your parents as well as your family doctor and keep all concerned in the loop.
