Does Birth Control make you gain weight if you're already kind of over weight?

I'm a little over weight and I really want to be on it but I'm scared of gaining any more weight. Thanks for all your answers. I will reply to all of them.

Update:

@ Brittany, what if my hormones aren't really clam do you think that they would make me gain weight?

    Expect to gain 20 lbs. while on BCPs. Either it is appetite and resultant overeating or hormonal changes. Once they are ended, weight is lost effortlessly. Search side effects or talk to the pharmacist or physician.

    It can make you gain or lose weight no matter what size you start at. Its all based off your hormones
