Lady 🐠 - have any of you gained weight when switching from 1 birth control pill to another, but not when you first started taking birth control?

also i've always got to plug this -- STOP the pill and get an IUD or the nexplanon (in your arm). the hormones are lower because they go directly to your blood, you can choose one that regulates or doesn't regulate your period, and you only have to think about it every 3-5 years when you need it changed. way more reliable, way easier, and way less stressful than the pill

I have. Every pill is a different dose/combo of hormones. Annoying but if your body reacts to this pill better than other ones, still a net win

I only switched from ortho tri cyclen to tri estarylla. No changes in diet (I consider myself a relatively healthy eater plus no processed foods if I can help it) and I'm still exercising regularly, so I'm wondering if that's the cause.

absolutely! changing the hormones in your body completely changes the game in terms of weight, metabolism, acne, basicallly everything we try to control. i've fluctuated -/+10lbs from changing just the pill/bc that im on with all the other variables constant. the weight evens out though, it's not permanent!

I have the IUD and it's giving me so many problems :( still worth trying if you don't want the pill but just be aware it's not a one size fits all solution

ACN1 I know about it already I just wanted to hear personal experiences and how people figured out if it was the birth control or not (without having to switch bc again so quickly)
