I’m terrified of going on birth control and gaining weight, I have terrible body dysmorphia and I am only now learning what my body looks like and accepting it and I can’t re do that, it is the worst feeling ever
Besides depo, birth control users and non-users show the same rates of weight gain, loss, and maintaining. Can’t say the same for pregnancy. It’s important to weigh the accurate risks and benefits in your situation.

I mean, the studies that say it’s a side effect are sorta skewed, because nobody ever keeps their lifestyle consistent enough to know if the weight gain is a side effect or just life while doing these trials
