TLDR Hormonal contraception likely doesn't cause significant weight gain.
The document from April 2004 reviewed the evidence regarding the relationship between hormonal contraception and weight gain. It concluded that there was little evidence to support the claim that hormonal contraception caused significant weight gain. The review likely analyzed various studies and data available at the time, but it did not find substantial proof to confirm a direct link between the use of hormonal contraceptives and an increase in weight.
