    I know when I took the shot one I gained weight. When I used the Nuvo Ring I gained weight. Both were hard to lose with. Now I'm on a low estrogen one it seems fine.

    that wasn't the pill or the shot or the ring tho causing the weight gain. I've used the pill, the shot, Mirena all while losing this 50lbs...and previous.

    you ate too much food...

    the side effect is increased appetite which we can control...not increased hunger.

    This. Women are so quick to blame hormones for weight gain even though there is no scientific evidence to support that. The pill may cause an increase in appetite for some people but there's no proof it's not psychosomatic. It doesn't matter what pills you're taking, you still get to choose what you put in your mouth.

    Exactly. I am on yasmin (was on minestrin) and am on a bunch of other meds that claim weight gain and am over 80lbs down.
