Does the contraceptive bar cause weight gain?

I was thinking of getting the implant, and actually, my doctor told me that minor weight gain can happen because of progesterone, yaar. But it is mostly just water weight or increased cravings. If you maintain a decent lifestyle, it is totally manageable.

The bar itself is tiny, but the cravings it brings can make you eat enough for three people! If you can resist midnight snacking, you won't gain real weight. Just lock your kitchen cabinets and you'll be perfectly fine!

Since hormonal changes can directly impact insulin levels and glucose management, any contraceptive implant should be chosen carefully. Weight gain is a common side effect of progesterone-only devices. Please consult both your gynecologist and endocrinologist to monitor your metabolic health closely.

Yes, hormonal implants can cause some weight changes initially. Drinking plenty of water and tracking your daily meals can help manage this side effect.

I totally get it, worrying about weight gain when choosing a contraceptive is so stressful. Many women do experience a bit of bloating or appetite changes with the implant. Just be gentle with yourself while your body adapts to the new hormones.
