i have always been using Minulet but it is actually put of stock. I shall be using Melodene for the first time after having been on Minulet for more than 14 years. I just wanted to know if there is any risk of putting on weight and if so how big is the risk. Thank you

hi thank you for asking your concern madam and welcome to HCM. yes there are chances of gaining weight after hormonal contraceptive for such long years and it occurs mostly due to estrogen part of it. short duration course can also make changes in weight. i suggest you to consult a gynecologist before continuing hormonal contraception. you should go under proper evaluation due to long history of hormonal contraception. there is weight gain so you may need lipid profile test before continuing it. weight gain is generaly reversable after stoppage.
i hope i answered your concern if you feel any doubt please ask us
