To @Barbara38:

Swelling of the legs and an increase in breast size may be related to water retention, which sometimes occurs with the use of birth control pills. It is also worth paying attention to diet, limiting salt, drinking enough water and regular exercise.

In this case, if you are experiencing side effects of the contraceptive pill, I encourage you to consult your doctor, who will recommend the appropriate therapeutic treatment for you. If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:

I also encourage you to report an adverse reaction if you haven't already done so:

To @ Barbara 38years:

To avoid gaining weight while taking the contraceptive pill Microgynon 21, it is recommended that you maintain a healthy lifestyle, which includes regular physical activity and a balanced diet.

There are many opinions about the potential weight gain after taking these pills, but it is an individual matter that it is difficult to predict whether weight gain will occur in this case.

Microgynon 21 zawiera dwie substancje aktywne - etynyloestradiol i lewonorgestrel. Lek stosowany jest w antykoncepcji. Opierając się na charakterystyce produktu leczniczego, można stwierdzić, że zwiększenie masy ciała u pacjentek stosujących lek występowało często. Oznacza to, że więcej niż jedna pacjentka na sto zgłaszała to działanie niepożądane.
