Did Lo Loestrin FE 1-10 make you gain weight?

By <name>/u/Woofsmcgee</name><uri>https://old.reddit.com/user/Woofsmcgee</uri>

I already have an IUD as my main bc method, but in the last 9 months or so, I’ve developed severe pain radiating to my legs around my period. Menstrual cramps are worse, too. My gynecology prescribed Lo Loestrin FE 1-10 to help with symptoms. I was on a different bc pill many years ago, and I think it made me gain significant weight. Has anyone experienced weight gain (or any other notable side effects) with this particular pill? My gynecologist is trying to reassure me that I won’t gain weight since it’s a low dose. submitted by /u/Woofsmcgee [link] [comments]
