trying to lose weight on sprintec birth control pills.
i recently started to take sprintec 28 and since then i have found it impossible to lose any weight !
i am not overweight, i would just like to lose a few pounds before beach season. i weigh around 112 lbs,
i am about 5 feet 2 inches tall and i am 28 years old. i excercize regularly and eat well so i really cant figure out the problem. it is very irritating to me. please help with some advice if you can.

Thanks for responding, i have checked out their website and called my doctor... they both say that weight gain is the most common side effect of the pill. the doctor also said that most kinds of birth control mess with your hormones so that is the reason for the unexpected weight gain and inability to lose any of the weight. but i need the pills as i dont want to be pregnant lol, so i have to find a way around this nasty side effect :-)
Hi,
I have not been on birth control pills for a few years now, but remember back when I was taking them, that weight gain was one of the biggest side effects. I put on about 15 pounds and it stayed! You may want to go to Sprintec's website or call the doctor of pharmacist and see if weight gain is common. I know it's frustrating especially since the older we get, the harder it is to lose the weight! Good luck to you :)
