What a good birth control that doesn’t make you gain weight?

I want to get on birth control I have 2 kids I’m good with both my boys I’m terrified to get pregnant again so many reasons why I don’t want a 3rd …. But I’m also worried about birth control side effects I don’t want to gain weight and I also don’t want to have mood swings I have bad anxiety as it is ….. so any recommendations please let me know and thank you

This is definitely something you should talk to your dr about, everyone responds different to birth control. I’m on the lowest dose pill that doesn’t have estrogen since I have migraines & it’s a contraindication to the estrogen, but the only thing I can complain about is my irregular periods.

All birth control is different. Nexplanon made me gain weight but pills made me lose weight.

@Katelyn same I have to have no estrogen for migraines too they haven't made me gain weight either. Irregular periods are giving me stress making me think I'm pregnant 😭

@Brooke yes same! I was 5 days late & had to take a test lol also I work nights so I do forget to take it sometimes. But I also don’t want an IUD again even though that did work best for me

Nexplanon made me gain a crazy amount of weight in 5 months. I’ve been on paragard for a month and I’ve lost some weight and maintain it, no side effects for me minus cramping.

I am on the pill 💊and I have been doing good with it

Spermicide is also an option, that’s what my husband and I used until we were ready to try for our last one and it worked great. You can buy just a little film so it’s not a gross mess to deal with.
