Is it normal to miss your period for 2 months but still feel cramping have light bleeding for a day in those months Even if a pregnancy test was taken after missed period an weight gain is occurring?

No it is not. Unless you are a young teen because it can take a couple of years until the menstruation is normal. If you have rapid weight gain (or loss) that in itself can lead to that the menstruation stays away. I would recommend you see a doctor and also take another pregnancy test. If you just took one it could have failed.

Honestly it depends if you have been having a hard time gaining weight then it probably means you have a fast metabolism which is a good thing and wont last forever, enjoy it while you are a teen. Anyway if you really want to gain weight then increase your calorie intake and carbs. It might not necessarily work considering i know some people who had high metabolisms who tried to gain weight and ate ice cream and stuff and it didnt help at all. But my best advice is increase what your eating, try to keep it healthy though so you dont become unhealthy through the gaining of weight.

Does the birth control pill cause weight gain?

In the first three months of use, women may experience a 2-3 pound weight gain or loss, but this change disappears after that three-month breaking in period is over.Some women report increased appetite on the birth control pill, but if you don't change how much you eat or exercise, the pill will not cause weight gain. A few women may experience some change in water weight when on the pill, but this effect is not long-lasting. In either case, a change to a different mix of hormones may make a difference.For the 5% of US women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, weight loss is a normal effect of birth control pills as they normalize hormone level.It's important to remember that:Women should normally gain weight during the teen years, until they're fully grown. Review of CDC growth charts show that weight gain is normal and expected though the end of adolescence. It's not unusual for a teen to blame the birth control pill when her weight increases from 95 lbs at age 14 to 110 lbs at age 18, but this may be normal growth.The average weight gain for US women is 10 lbs for every 10 years after adolescence ends. The average American woman is gaining weight every year, and increasing exercise to match calorie intake is an important strategy for weight control. Women gaining a pound each year could beat the average by cutting 10 calories per day from their diets.Pregnancy is strongly correlated with weight gain. While you may choose not to use the birth control pill, keep in mind that the most effective methods can reduce the odds of weight gain by reducing the chance of pregnancy.Not necessarily...birth control may make you gain 1 or 2 kilos due to water retention but it doesn't make you "fatter". The reason why some women can gain alot of weight on the pill is because the pill can increase the appetite in some women (often making them crave foods that are high in calories). They eat more than they normally would and thus gain weightSometimes.
