The actual side effect is "increased appetite" which can cause people to eat more which can cause weight gain.
All hormonal BC methods list this as they sort of have too...
I wouldn't worry about it while breast feeding to be honest...
Don't worry about BC while BFing? :laugh:
I know of more than a few "surprises" that are here because of people thinking that can't get PG and don't need BC while BF.
Word. I got knocked up on purpose whilst breastfeeding at least every two hours around the clock.0 -
I'm on nexplanon and it caused an out of control appetite. I gained 50+ lbs in 2 years because I was constantly hungry. I plan to get it out when I am able to. But I have lost 20.5 lbs while still having it in. But I have changed my eating habits which I think has helped. I will say that I will never do a long term birth control like nexplanon again. If I get back on birth control it will be a pill.
