    Every person is different. I gained ten pounds in two weeks on Mirena, and was so exhausted that I was sleeping 16 hours a day. Luckily it expelled, but I'm still trying to lose the weight I put on when I had it in.

    I've gained about 10kg since going on the bc pill in Sept 2012. I'm on the "lightest" one available (whatever that means!!). I work out 6 days a week, watch what I'm eating and I can't lose any of the weight!! I definitely blame it on the pill.

    I am on Depo Provera and finding it IMPOSSIBLE to lose weight. In fact,I've gained around 2 stone in the year since I went on it, and have not changed my diet or excercise, and I treat my body pretty well. (I bloat by about 6lbs over the course of the day)
    Good luck with your weight loss... hoping to find something new that won't affect my weight so much. These posts have been super helpful! :)

    I noticed your diary isn't open.
