Answers:
The notion that birth control pills cause weight gain is widespread and tenacious, despite a growing body of scientific data that discredits it. Recently, researchers at Family Health International (FHI) released a comprehensive analysis of studies on combined-hormone oral contraceptives (COCs) and weight gain. Their conclusion — that contraceptive pills do not lead to major weight gain

Britain has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in Western Europe at 8.8 per 1000 live births.
Adolescents are very preoccupied with body image and fear weight gain with use of the combined oral contraceptive (COC) pill.Compliance with contraception continues to be a major issue.
Is there a real evidence of weight gain? Or are there discrepancies between adolescent perceptions of weight gain with COC use and available scientific evidence? We carried out a comprehensive literature search and did not find evidence for the purported weight gain with use of low dose COCs.

i believe that medicine doesnt make you gain weight only sticking food down the hatch does.
