do contraceptove inyections can really make you gain weight? and if they do can you tell me why?
Question:
Answers:
Birth control has hormones which can make your weight fluctuate. Also your metabolism might have slowed down. If you are having trouble fitting into an old size, your hips could have spread a bit more (usually happens around 21).
Other Answers:
Yes, part of it is metabolism
The other part is that you get a massive amount of hormones from each injection. They simulate pregnancy in your body... but instead of taking a smaller dose in oral contraceptives, you get it all at once.
See if you can switch to an oral dosage, and you may be able to lose weight.
I am not exactly sure of why you gain the weight, but I think it has something to do with the birth control "tricking" your body into thinking it is pregnant... now, you will never gain weight as if you were actually pregnant, but I think some extra weight is put on because of that thought. Since your body does not ovulate, like when you are pregnant, it mistakes you for being pregnant.
yes contraceptive injections can make you gain weight. basically, the injection is a large dose of hormones. any hormonal imbalance, whether it is female hormones or adrenal hormones or male hormones can make you gain weight. since depo provera is a three month injection of birth control hormones, your body is overwhelmed by hormones and therefore gains weight. age may also have something to do with it as when women get older their pelvis drops and they gain a bit more weight, but i would probably attribute it more to depo than to age.
