Hi, I am 23 yr old married woman,I am on OCP from past two years. I want to know still how long is it safe to use OCP since me and my husband are not planning for child now, Also I have increased my weight from past 2yrs being on OCP. Is OCP the cause for my weight gain? Please advice.
Hi, Its rare, but some women do gain a bit of weight when they start taking birth control pills. It's often a temporary side effect that's due to fluid retention, not extra fat. Studies have showed no evidence that birth control pills caused weight gain in most women. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
