Can plan b cause weight gain?

I'm trying to manage my weight, and I've read that some hormonal pills can cause weight gain. If I take Plan B, is there a chance it could make me put on weight? I'm worried about this.

Honestly, emergency pills can disturb your cycles and cause some temporary bloating because of the heavy hormones. I usually drink warm fennel water to ease the water retention, but if you feel any severe pain or abnormal bleeding, skip the home remedies and call your gynac immediately.

It is mostly just temporary water weight due to the hormone spike. If you feel up to it and your doctor is fine with it, doing some light walking can really help flush out the extra fluid. Don't push too hard if you have cramps though.

Actually yaar, my girlfriend was super worried about this too. It does not cause permanent weight gain, but it can make u feel very bloated and heavy for a few days because of the sudden hormone rush. Just give it some time, it goes back to normal automatically.

Ye thoda bhari dawa hoti hai toh thoda shareer fula hua lagta hai. Isse koi paka weight nahi badhta, bas do-teen din thoda heavy lagega. Acche se paani piyo aur dhyan rakho apna.

Hey, take a deep breath. It is just a massive dose of progesterone which temporarily holds water in your body. It is physically impossible to gain actual fat from just one pill. Keep yourself hydrated and let your body recover from the stress.

Haan na, even I felt very puffy and heavy after taking it last year. It is just hormonal water retention, not real fat. Don't worry, your body will clear the hormones in a week or two and the weight will settle down.
