Does logynon cause weight gain?

My doctor prescribed Logynon for my irregular periods. I've heard some of these pills can make you gain weight, which I really want to avoid. Is weight gain a common side effect with Logynon?

My girlfriend was on Logynon last year and she definitely noticed some bloating and mood swings in the starting. But it was mostly just water weight, nothing crazy. She got used to it within a couple of months.

I suggest logging your daily calorie intake and water levels on an app like HealthifyMe for a few weeks. Sometimes these pills just increase your appetite slightly, and tracking helps you see if you're actually eating more or if it's just water retention.

Hey, don't stress too much about the weight thing! Some people do get a little bloated because of hormones, but it usually goes away. Just drink lots of water and give your body some time to adjust, you've got this!

It can cause a little bit of weight fluctuation for some women initially. Please be gentle with yourself. If it continues to bother you, your doctor can easily help you switch to another option.

Arey, nowadays even breathing air seems to cause weight gain for me! But jokes aside, my wife had some mild weight changes on these hormone pills years ago. It is quite common, so don't lose sleep over it.
