What other pill to try? Weight related.

I started taking Microgynon 2 months ago; few days ago I started the third packet. In that tine I put on a stone. I wasn't sure whether it was pill related as I used to be on Microgynon before and felt great. Also I suspected lack of walking due to a car and Pimms (well, the lemonade that goes with it) that I had quite a bit over the summer.

But the weight gain was quite sudden plus I have beed exercising 4 to 5 times a week over the last 6 weeks so would expect even a tiny bit of weight loss like before. And I don't eat much.

It is the pill, isn't it...

I am past the age of needing contraception but my daughter and her friends all swear by Yasmin which is known for not having an adverse effect on your weight..I believe it 's a bit more expensive than some other pills so doctors don't always offer it..worth a try?

I was going to suggest Yasmin too. It didn't suit me gave me nausea, headaches & made my depression worse. I can't take any pills now.

hi, i think there is no good pills can make your Weight lighter. the best way is eat less and take more exercise.

I eat little and train 4- 5 times a week!

My Dr was really reluctant to give me Yasmin but I said that I had lost my libido and then it was prescribed. A trick a friend told me.
