Suggest Best Birth Control Method That Does Not Cause Weight Gain

Hello, My name is Roxanne. I am 24 years old and have had two pregnancies one child birth and I am looking for a good birth control. I don t mind taking pills and want one that will not cause me to have weight gain. I use to take alesse when I was 15 and I do not remember having any side effects. Would you recommend me returning to alesse or is there a better one you can suggest.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Intrauterine devices like copper-T is the best choice for you. It is not a hormonal preparation and doesn’t cause side effects like weight gain and hormonal imbalances. Depot preparations can also considerable. If you want to take pills, take progesterone only pills (pop) which does not cause weight gain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
