contraception without weight gain?

[puzzledlady]

I have to go back onto contraception - condoms just dont agree with me and so its either the pill or the depo shots - i havent been on it in years - is one better than the other? I know my cousin said the pill made her gain weight, but another cousin said it was all in her head. Im so confused. :(

Copper coil has no hormones so would be less likely to affect weight

Pill doesn't make you gain weight, big studies show about a third gain a third lose and the rest stay the same. Only depot makes about 10% gain weight. But for many is easier to blame the pill than their diet..... 😀
