[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My tween is on BC pills because of a medical issue.  The dr said this is necessary for at least two years.

She's been on the pill since May.  Since June, she's gained 40 lbs.  This seems so excessive and i wonder if the dr should switch to another pill.

Anyone have any experience with this? What pill worked that did not cause such side effects?

OF COURSE! That's a huge red flag and horrible to her health that she is gaining that much fat. How can you allow it to have gone that far??

Once you gain fat cells, you never lose them. You can shrink them, but they are always there ready to swell up again.

Avoid the pharma pills. There is no medical need for her to be on the pill. Address the issue, such as if it is PCOS, rather than throwing HARMFUL pills at her. In fact no woman should take the pill, as they are harmful to your health. [/quote]

Even if you are a doctor (and you're not), you're not OP's kid's doctor, and have no business telling anons on this forum what do to with their health. There are worse things than being fat, and avoiding medications so you don't gain weight is beyond idiotic.
