Will yaz cause weight gain??

I used to take yasmin... but i also had alot of organ issues due to that b.c and in and out of the hospital alot back in '07...i stopped taken it in 2008 when i turned up pregnant by my ex then had a misscarriage... but i was also on zoloft and some other med for my stomach issues along with yasminand i gained ALOOTT of weight... not sure which pill to blame...
Well i have been off B.C since 2008 and i lost all my weight  since i stopped taken all perscribed pills and had the miscarriage.
I am scared to go BACK on B.C cause im affraid i will gain all my weight back. And im at a size that im VERY happy with at the moment...
Sooo can someone please help me?
I refuse inserting anything in my vagina or getting the shot << i know the shot will deffinately cause weight gain.
i rather take a pill...

So my main question that i am trying to get at here is:
"What birth control pill can i take that WONT cause weight gain????

Any type of birth control that has hormones can cause weight gain, so that means every single birth control pill can do that to you. It just depends on how your body reacts to it. You don't have to get super defensive over a simple response. Relax. I've told you about other birth control options in order to avoid gaining weight, simple as that. If you have problems with severe cramps, then look into why you get them so bad(maybe endometriosis, cysts, etc). Talk to your doctor about what will work best for you.

you go girl :))

yea i gained weight on melatonin and a bit on Yasmin ( don't know if it was cuz of the pill).... its not that they make you gain weight but they make you more hungry so i controlled my diet very closely. maybe you could get an implant ... my friend has it and says its good.
my dr told me yasmin has the least risks and least side effect so i would give it another go! gd luck!

grendslori is saying to just not have sex, to abstain from any sexual contact(abstinence).

If you are only looking for birth control, not for regulating hormones or anything else, then you can have the guy use condoms and also use spermicide. There is also the patch, which can be used. There are many different options, so talk to your doctor about which might work best for you.
