Does tri lo mili cause weight gain?

My doctor prescribed Tri-Lo-Mili for birth control, and I just started taking it. I've read online that some birth control pills can make you gain weight. Is this true for Tri-Lo-Mili? I'm really trying to manage my weight.

Actually, birth control pills like Tri-Lo-Mili can increase your appetite and make you crave junk food or sweets more often. For me, it wasn't the pill directly causing fat gain, but the late-night pizza cravings that got hard to control. Keeping healthy snacks nearby really helps!

Our bodies go through many changes when we start hormonal medication, so please stay positive and accept yourself. Sometimes it is just temporary fluid retention that settles down after a few months. Take care of your mental peace, eat mindfully, and let your body adapt gently.

I was researching this pill because my gynecologist suggested it, and from what I read, real weight gain is rare. Most girls online say it just causes initial bloating or water retention in the first couple of months which goes away. I am still deciding if I should start it.

Please don't ignore it if you see a sudden, rapid increase in your weight or severe swelling in your legs after starting this. I ignored my body's warning signs with hormonal pills before and ended up with severe health complications. Get a proper checkup with your gynecologist to ensure this specific pill suits you.

As someone who has seen many young women go through this, Tri-Lo-Mili is a low-dose pill, so significant weight gain is quite uncommon. You might feel a bit of bloating or breast tenderness initially due to hormone adjustments. Give your body 2-3 months to adjust, and keep a simple journal of your symptoms.
