Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this mood swings that you had. A birth pill in itself does not cause weight gain. Should you use as many calories as you take in, there would be no increase in your weight. What you have to do is to make sure you maintain your calories count and exercise level at the same quotas and there would be no issues to worry about concerning your weight.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
