Lovima/mini pill

doed it cause weight gain for everyone?

Not for me, I switched onto the mini pill at the same time as working to lose weight. I continued to lose weight steadily

I have gained weight but I don’t put it down to the pill just crap diet and no exercise!!

Which brand do u use

I was on degesterol to try and stop periods put on one stone in six months it has really upset me as I was so happy at my previous weight and had worked hard at the gym to have a good shape. I’ve come off it now waiting for the weight to come off again, hopefully naturally as I exercise a lot.

currently considering the Mirena coil as that is supposed to stop periods as well I have heavy ones awful

Desogestrel

There's very little evidence that the mini-pill causes weight gain.

Besides which it's generally what you put in your mouth that causes weight gain...

Wait, where do you think the mini-pill goes? 😂

It’s not exactly calorific is it though…

My GP told me, when I asked as I was concerned about the same, that is doesn’t make you put on weight directly, but can increase appetite, which obviously could have that effect. As it happens I don’t think it did cause weight gain for me directly. But I was already big so who knows!

It was a joke, lighten up!

No weight gain for me and I have been on it for many years.

I’ve been on Cerelle for years and no weight gain. In fact, I’ve lost probably about 12 kg in that time, but that’s just down to being active and eating well.
