Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Weight gain is possible as a side effect of hormonal contraceptives because of fluid retention. But other causes like thyroid dysfunction should also be rule out. You should consult gynecologist for expert evaluation and examination. Doctor may rule out pregnancy particularly if you have missed any tablets during regular cycle. Treatment would be directed as per cause. Thanks.
