Does the contraceptive implant make you gain weight

Ask your Health question now...

Answer #1

YES the contraceptive implant CAN AND WILL make you gain weight regardless of diet and exercise. I’m a regular swimmer and long distance runner, my diet consists of sald and fruit and even I’ve put on weight! Oh and by the way, I don’t even eat bread, pasta or sugar!

The reason behind this and xxangelcakexx you in particular should take note of this:

Progesterone (the main hormone released in the Contraceptive Implant) stimulates an abnormal increase of Insulin which is a storage hormone. Eat like a rabbit but you will, and I can’t stress it enough YOU WILL gain weight. But, it’ll go within a year when your body is used to it.

Answer #2

I really want to start using a contraceptive and I would like to use the implant but im worried about putting on weight. I was a chubby child and focused all my time getting down to my taget weight which im really happy about, but im worried about getting big again, I would just like to know how much weight will I gain? and how long will it take to lose it? or if I exercise regulary will I be able to keep the weight off? please help!

Answer #3
