What is the average weight gain when you start taking birth control pills?

I talked to my doctor today about taking birth control pills since I am getting married soon. She informed me that most women gain weight, but wouldn’t say how much. I just lost about 35 lbs and really don’t want to gain that back (especially before a wedding). How much weight is normally gained? And do all women gain weight or just some? If I eat healthy and continue to exercise can I lose that weight again, or is it stuck because of hormonal stuff? Thanks!

    I have been taking a birth control method for 8 years now….6 years on the pill and 2 years for the needle, and I have yet to experience any weight gain. My doctor explained that it will increase your appetite but if you choose healthy foods instead of lets say McDonald’s then you should be alright.
    Hope it helps!
