The myth of Birth Control

  • I had the depo shot and gained about three stone....however before you all start shouting....all it did was give me a bigger appetite and seemed to improve my mood...I was also in my first year at university so ate rubbish and drank far far too much!

    I have had the mirena and my weight stayed the same, I now have an implant and my weight has stayed constant, if i diet/exercise I lose weight...if i don't or eat rubbish.....I gain!

    Just my thoughts

    I've been on the pill for about 4 years, and since joining MFP, I'm actually a smaller size than I was when I started taking birth control. Maybe some people's bodies just react differently to the hormones in the medicine. Who knows.
