Heavy period for a month (birthcontrol) question?!

i had surgery on december 21 2015, high weight - 225 now im down 176, i had my period since feburary 21st till now, i was prescribed birth control pills to stop it, only gonna use it for one week and a half... im so anxious because i dont want to gain weight!! Will i gain weight?! Will i never go back to losing weight? Help?!

Hi there, 

I was overweight when originally prescribed birth control. Dr prescribed me one where weight gain wasn't a side effect. It depends on the pill. 

I've been in yaz, alesse and switched over to depo provera before surgery because Dr said other birth control pills don't absorb properly.

Before you start taking them, ask your Dr to see if he can switch it. Or switch next month if you can.

My periods have been crazy since my surgery.  It has been more than 10 months now.  I am on Mirena because oral birth control does not necessarily absorb fully.  I am considering having my tubes tied since this isn't controlling my periods anyway.  My OB felt that a vasectomy for my husband was the best option, but that is not going to happen.  LOL

If you are past having children look into ablation. You can't afford too many periods like that it will deplete your iron 

Yes! An ablation. I had it done in November to help my iron stores.

its fabulous! I'm done having children. It was the best option for me.

its a day procedure. 

I had a Mirena IUD put in a month after surgery. I did not have any problems with weight gain or losing weight.

lol I estrin does not cause weight gain , maybe you could request that.... Also it's normal or should I say common to begin heavy heavy menses after weight loss
