Birth Control and Weight


Recommended Posts

I gave birth a couple of weeks ago.  My fourth baby/third pregnancy in less than three years.  Since this last pregnancy was pretty rough, I don't think I'll be able to do it again.  I'm going to take the pill while I consider possibly getting my tubes tied later on this year or maybe in 2021. 

So, what versions of the pill are least likely to make you gain weight?  And for those who are on the pill, what do you do to avoid gaining weight?  Is there something available to reduce appetite as well?

I will be using a progestin-only pill since I am producing breast milk.  How effective are they compared to "normal" pills?
