Im using oralcon contraceptive pills. im gaining weight... what can help me not to gain? ## Hi, Boikhutso! Sorry about the problem that you're having. However, there really isn't going to be much you can do about the weight change, as long as you're taking the Oralcon. It contains a synthetic estrogen and those very commonly cause women to gain weight. If you feel that you're gaining to much on this one, you may wish to talk to your doctor about trying a different one. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Even if you join gym. You cant get back to your weight before taking the pills. ## hi I slept with my boyfriend without a condom and was on my period so after 2 days of sleeping with him I started using oralcon. ..will they be affective or I am just waisting my ti...

This is my 1st time using the pill, it was given to me by my doc regulate my period. I'm on my 5th white pill now and I'm experiencing the worst side effects ever. I get abdominal cramps all the time and really bad headaches. Sometimes I wake up trembling and I have noticed that I have gained a lot of weight even though my eating habits are still the same. Is this normal for first time users of oralcon? And is there any alternative brand I can use that would not make me feel this way? ## Hello, Lola! Sorry that you are so miserable. No, you shouldn't be experiencing problems that extreme, especially when you haven't been taking it very long. Please contact your doctor, there are other options that you can try, instead.

I've been using petogen consistently for 6 months now which is 2 shots. Seven weeks into the second shot I had unprotected intercourse and I'm experiencing excessive hunger these days... Could I be pregnant? ## Not likely, as long as you made sure to receive your shots on time. It is a long-term contraceptive that contains Medroxyprogesterone. The NIH does warn that it can cause increased hunger, weight gain, nausea, irregular bleeding, and headache. Are you on any other medications? ## I'm not on any other medication. I have another question, if I go for a shot a week later than prescribed, would it be much of a problem? ## Hello.
