What weight do you have to be to go on the pill

Hi! I’m not too sure if this is the right group to ask as I’ve just recently joined! But dose anyone know roughly how much you have to weight to go on the pill?

Thanks

🙂 You may be given a health check prior to being prescribed contraception, being overweight has generally been the biggest concern.

Oh really? I didn’t know this. I’ve contacted my doctor many times as my pains are very sore with a heavy flow every month. Thanks for the reply x
