Does Birth Control Pills Cause Mood Swings And Weight Loss?
So I am wondering what s going on. I don t know if it s my birth control or what it is. I have not gained weight in a year. If anything I lose weight then gain a pound then lose weight. I eat a ton then about an hour later I m hungry again. I have been really shakey for the past year and it just seems like that is getting worse. I have been pretty hateful to alot of people but I just don t feel to happy most of the time. Can you tell me what s going on?

Hi, these are the side effects of birth control pills. Basically these pills contain hormones estrogen and progesterone. The progesterone component causes mood swings and weight gain. Your weight loss may be dud to your eating habits. Take some protein supplements. Hope I have answered your question.
