birth control that doesn't make her gain weight

[2cpuminimum]

34B+depo provera-->34E
Weight gain for all birth control options is favorable compared to pregnancy. What's the average for that?

My wife has gained wait on some birth control pills, but is on a low-dosage (of estrogen) pill now (microgestin or Alese) and hasn't gained any weight, but everyone is different.

I haven't seen a hormally based solution that doesn't cause at least a bit of weight gain/water retention.

Well, in controlled studies that attempt to factor out things like eating more or exercising less, there is not a huge difference. I think a lot women go on the pill expecting to gain fat and then do so. At least the majority of blaoting horror stories are exaggerations or caused by a combination of factors.

There is somethey they can implant into the woman's uterus. Its a brief surgical procedure, costs about $400 or something, but lasts 10 years. Not sure how it works, but you dont gain weight off of it, and there are no harmful side effects.

shoot her in the face, no extra products, and its still fun to see the look in her eyes when she realizes its in her hair

IUD is the bestest option imho... but they will not just give her one. If she is young... like under 25 and has no children, chances are that she will not get one.

*ding ding* We have a winner!!

My wife got hers a few months after the birth of our now 18 month old. The doctor said that they usually will not give them to women unless they've experienced childbirth, due to the changed state of a woman's body after the fact. The cost to us was only the regular $20 co-pay. The biggest plus is that it last for 5 years!!! It's a heck of a lot better than the shot or the pill.

My wife was getting the shot back in 2000 after we got married, and only had 2 applications. Come 2001, she didn't get it again, and boy did it really screwed things up. We weren't trying to get pregnant, but at the same time weren't trying to prevent it, and it took about 3 years for her body to get normal (aka, regular visits from Aunt Flo). Not to mention, she gained quite a bit of weight and is still working to get it off (eating healthy, exercising 5+ days a week).

I was under the impression that IUD's just prevent implantation of the fertilized egg, but didn't prevent fertilization. Based on the PP site it sounds like they prevent fertilization too.

There are quite a few different kinds of birth control, and each will have different side effects for each individual.

Simply tell her to talk with her doctor, and ask them to help her find one suitable for her.
