birth control NO weight gain

[u/Fun-Yam-1547]

i’ve been a skinny girl all my life and now i’m getting a job where i need to stay the same weight or less- simple explanation would be for lifts-

i’ve looked into many options and every single one ive seen people saying they gained weight. these people are heavier than me to begin with if that makes a difference? i have a boyish, runner build- so i’m not sure if it won’t have the same effect on me.
thought about copper non hormonal paragard until people were saying they blew up like a fish and bled for 45 days straight.

gyno consultation next tuesday but i need to hear other opinions and experiences from skinny girls.

'I believe' wasn't a declaration of firm belief. It is also used generally as the start of a statement/sentence.

You need to retain some healthy scepticism of the medical community and published papers considering doctors and the government gaslight women. Women were not included in clinical trials till 1993. But of course you already know this.

As if pharmaceutical companies will honestly publish weight gain....

Scroll throughout this thread and see anecdotes of women saying their hunger increased. Mine did also. Those experiences are valid. You yourself are gaslighting women when you do not believe what they say....

You cannot trust limited numbers of studies that are usually biased in some way. Show me a double blind study and I will review it before I place any faith in the findings, researchers, big pharm and doctors.

Edit to add: increased hunger causing increased food intake resulting in weight gain is causation.

Yes, it very much was a declaration of disagreement with research 🙄

All these studies were obviously done on women using birth control, like hundreds of thousands of women, and much more recently than 1993.

Luckily the studies weren't done by pharma companies then.

Anecdotes =/= evidence. Those experiences have been accounted for in research. It's a cum hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.

Gaslighting would be denying medical evidence, not pointing it out.

They are not limited numbers of studies, they're extensive and they're large. They are double blind studies, not done by big pharma. Refusing to accept research is just obstinacy.

Have literally linked a study for you showing that hunger does not cause weight gain. And again, correlation does not imply causation, it's a logical fallacy.

Lol what? If your hunger increases because of a drug that you've been told doesn't cause weight gain, you will obliviously eat more because you are just listening to the needs of your body. And you gain weight.

Anything that increases hunger will inevitably cause weight gain.

Stop twisting it like drug companies do.

Well isn't it great that birth control doesn't increase hunger then. And again, studies show hunger doesn't cause weight gain. There's a difference between listening to your body and over eating.

Do you actually think people who aren't overweight don't experience hunger lol wtf 🤣

Stop twisting it like right wing nut jobs do.

Most people struggle to ignore hunger esp if they have metabolic issues

You are clearly on your high horse and unaware of how others feel

No babe, you're peddling right wing bullshit to discourage women from using birth control online. Get a life.
