best birth control to be on without hindering weight loss?

TequillaLover89

So I recently got back on my dads health insurance, and I'm wondering what the best birth control to ask about would be? I use to be on one, I can't think of the name... It made me fell bloated and gross all the time. I don't want that feeling again. I was thinking about seasonal, because four periods a year sounds AMAZING.

But I have not had my period in like 2 months, and I'm kind of missing it ((Not pregnant according to multiple tests, but still something to talk to her about)).

The other birth control topic made me think about this

I have a Paragard. It's a non-hormonal IUD. I haven't experienced any problems with weight since having it implanted...on the website it says you may have heavier cycles but i've experienced the opposite. mine used to be very heavy and they are lighter now.

I also have a Paragard and LOVE it. My periods are actually not that bad, and the cramps aren't that bad, either. It's nice knowing only my natural hormones are in me, and I don't have any of the side effects of synthetic hormones. I lost a bit of water weight when I switched from birth control pills to Paragard.

Implanon! I unintentionally lost weight with it! AND not ONE period. AND!!!! No period pains. I once took a pill that promised "reduced periods" and instead, I got no reduction in periods but an increase in intensity instead, and major munchies so I ate loads With implanon the implant though I never have to think about contraception, it's the most reliable and effective contraceptive available (proven) and it has only enhanced my sex life.

I use the pill. A generic version of yaz. It doesnt make me feel gross or delay my weight loss. I don't get any major pms symptoms and it has made my TOM very light. I like that because it doesn't hinder my active lifestyle. But everyone's body is a little different so I think you should ask your dr. about it or the nurse maybe.

Can you feel implants during day to day stuff, or sexual intercourse?

No hormones are released in your body???

Really glad to hear this. I've had a lot of trouble finding a birth control that works for me, I'm getting Implanon in about a week! When discussing options the weight gain was a huge issue for me (as I gained a TON on Depo Provera).

Personally, I've never felt any weight gain side effects on a generic of loestrin FE. If anything, it's made my periods super light or even non-existant...which is obviously stressful. I like the idea of implanon...any other people who've tried it?
