Birth control / weight loss

Is it possible to get on birth control and be on a weight loss/fitness journey ? I got off birth control (pill) bc it was making me feel horrible and gain weight, i was previously in nexplanon and got off of it bc i was having a hard time in my personal life and thought maybe it was contributing to it. I’ve been trying to eat better and do better for myself as I’ve felt that i am still struggling with ppd and ppa. I love my partner and since getting off of bc our sex life has slowed down. He has never pressured me to get on or off of it but i can tell the lack of intimacy does have an affect even on me. I want to focus on my health, and o forsure do not want another child Any advice ?

Yes u can lose weight while bc but I would talk to ur Dr about bc that will work for u if needed or take extra precautions after sex and if ur S.O. is willing to do it talk to him about getting a vasectomy if u r both done with bc bcuz no Dr near me will fix me unless we have #2 but we don't want another and still just in case take precautions but u can always find out 15yrs later ur pregnant after vasectomy if he is willing to get one

Copper IUD.

Definitely possible, there are so many birth control options because they affect people so differently. There’s dozens of different pills if you liked the idea of pills also IUDs, patches, rings, etc.
