Hallow Dear,

Birth control pills contain Oestrogen and Progesterone preparations. They are known to cause stomach irritation, nausea and sometimes vomiting too. Also, these pills do put on weight.

So the pain in your abdomen and increased waistline could both be due to birth control pills.

To avoid gastro-intestinal upsets, please take these pills after dinner at bedtime. In addition, you may take one tablet of Pantoprazole daily in the morning on empty stomach.

High protein, low fat and low carbohydrate diet will help you overcome the overweight problem.

I hope this helps you.
