Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I was on Depo Provera a while ago, and gained weight on it. I'll be trying Yasmin, which is supposed to not cause weight gain, and actually causes some people to lose weight and clears up the complexion. Depo is progesterone-like only, and Yasmin has both estrogen and progesterone like. I had some problems with the estrogen only ones. One funny thing I just heard is that taking Vitamin C can increase estrogen levels in the blood from bcp, and Vitamin C is sometimes recommended for mito. It's tough managing all these meds, let alone the fact that the doc who prescribes the bcp's isn't familiar with any of my other meds... I gained about 50 lbs. between birth control pills and similar hormones, the Atkins diet helped me get rid of some of that. It's so funny I was 113 lbs. at 5'6 " in H.S., and I'd be happy to be back at 140 lbs. My pediatrician was telling me to gain weight when I was 113 lbs., I think I did too good a job Take care, RH > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
