Hi ladies! So here's a personal question/topic. I've never used any form of BC. FH and I decided to wait until we are married to be "active", so the whole topic is uncharted territory for me. I am planning to start taking the pill after the wedding (9/29 wedding)and my OB/GYN wrote me a script for microgestin 1/20. Ive read that weight gain is one of the most common side effects for this medicine, and BC in general. Given how soon the wedding is, I'm going to wait until after the wedding to start taking it. -- don't want any surprise weight gain that will require additional alterations. And honestly, after working out 4-5 times a week to get in shape for the wedding, i'd be pretty peeved if I were suddenly 10-15 lbs heavier on the big day!
But I'm just curious -- did anyone taking the pill NOT experience weight gain? Thanks for your insight, gals! My OB/GYN said weight gain isn't a "confirmed" side effect, but I'm skeptical since I've seen so much anecdotal evidence otherwise..
