Hormonal Contraception and Weight Gain?

Beckaroo94

So I always hear about how it can cuse weight gain. Since going on the mini pill in year 10 I gained 2 stone then lost it within a year. I stopped the mini pill at the end of college, then got a nexplanon implant in april then gained a stone and am losing it. I don't know if it is partly because of the contraception or if it would have just happenned anyway? Not that I'm using it as an excuse, it's my own fault I overate and gained weight of course. Lots of people use it and don't gain weight.

Just wondering what others think about hormonal contraception and weight gain? Is there any link or do the leaflets etc just say it to cover their backs?
