I know that everyone has different reactions to birth control, but has switching to a pill with a lower dosage of estrogen been shown to have a lesser frequency of causing weight gain? Thanks!

Answer by wah hoo
The weight gain is caused by the fact that birth control pills fool your body into thinking its pregnant, therefore you tend to gain that ” baby weight” regardless of the dose of estrogen.

Question by Waitin’ 4 Next Year: What would a women take a high estrogen birth control pill?
Most doctors reccomend a low-dose estrogen pill for the least side-effects. Why would one opt for a high dose pill?

Answer by NurseBunny
Every woman has a different level of hormones in her body. Some will experience breakthrough bleeding and other symptoms with low-dose pills so they may need a higher concentration of estrogen in their pills. It’s always best to start with a low dose and work your way up if need be.

Question by I Have Answers: What’s the benefit to taking low estrogen birth control pills?
What’s the benefit to taking low estrogen birth control pills as suppose to regular ones? Is estrogen harmful? Are there more side effects?

The only side effect I’m aware of is that across the board low estrogen pills are more likely to lower your sex drive, curtesy of the famous Dr. Drew, so I was wondering if there is anything else to consider.

Thanks so much!

Answer by Q
Estrogen CAN be harmful–lifetime exposure to estrogen is positively correlated with lifetime risk of breast cancer and uterine cancer. So it’s thought that the lower estrogen pills will be better in that regard. But your risks are still very small, so it’s not a huge difference. Other problems you might have with the low estrogen pills are constipation and dry skin. But all pills affect libido, so you migth want to skip them all.
