Does zumandimine cause weight gain?

My doctor recently suggested Zumandimine as a birth control option, but I'm really sensitive about my weight. I've heard some birth control pills can cause weight gain. Does anyone know if Zumandimine typically leads to putting on kilos?

Don't believe every review you read online about birth control and weight. Everyone's hormone levels are different, so you must consult your gynecologist to see if this brand suits you.

These hormonal pills always get blamed for weight gain, though my slow metabolism and love for sweets probably do more damage! I did feel a bit bloated initially, but it went away.

Hormonal medicines can cause some initial water retention, which people mistake for fat. Just stick to a basic clean diet and give your body a couple of months to adjust.

I was super scared of gaining weight when my doc prescribed this for my acne. Honestly, I only had minor bloating during the first month, and after that, everything was normal.

The pill did make me crave salty snacks and street food during my first cycle. If you can manage those random midnight cravings, you won't gain any real weight.

I have been using it for six months now. I noticed a tiny bit of water weight at first, but keeping myself hydrated and avoiding processed food helped me maintain my weight easily.

Because I have hypothyroidism, I have to be very careful with hormonal pills. I did experience some mild fluid retention, so it's wise to get your thyroid and hormone levels checked regularly.
