Hi,

The Femiplan pills are estroprogestative pills used for contraception. Their primary usage is not to make you gain weight but to protect from pregnancy. You can experience gaining weight during their intake.

You can eat a diet with more calories adding fruits and fruit juices also increase intake of nuts in your diet. Also you can use more carbohydrates and fats in your meals to put on weight. Remember to check your thyroid function because hyperthyroidism can make you loose weight.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,

Femiplan pills are estroprogestative contraception pills used to provide protection for pregnancy. They can make you gain weight but is not their main purpose. You can change your diet adding more carbohydrates, and unsaturated fats and more calories.

Use fruits, fruit juices, nuts and wheat flour products to put on weight. Remember to control thyroid function because hyperthyroidism can make you loose weight.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
