Can Birth Control Pills Cause Weight Gain?
My son is 16. He has been seeing an 18 year old girl for about 6 months and they have recently begun having relations. He is using a condom but she says she doesn t want to go on the pill because she says it will make her fat. I want to talk with her mother but my husband says I should let them work it out. I am very concerned, he is not the most mature kid and may be in over his head.
