We can confirm that the progestin pill may be a safer solution for women who are overweight or even obese. Obesity is the cause of many complications during pregnancy, and therefore obese women should be especially motivated to use a reliable form of contraception.
Excess weight, in fact, is directly correlated with an increased risk of clot formation with respect to standard weight. Therefore, in addition to getting your gynecologist’s advice on whether to change pills (if you’re taking a combined pill), you should also evaluate whether to change your lifestyle, being more attentive to the portions and the quality of what you eat, and doing more physical activity. Movement is good for the body and mind, and also for sexuality. Seeing is believing!
