Water balloon symptoms and conditions

I have gained weight being on Loestrin for 3 weeks... and been SEVERELY BLOATED non stop for 3 FULL WEEKS. It's like I'm pregnant or hiding a water balloon in my pants! The pressure is so horrible especially after I eat. Not to mention the breakthrough bleeding and depression! I was on BC pills for 11yrs straight - went off for a yr and went back on and have tried Yasmin. No difficulties what so ever, thought I switch to Loestrin to save money and all I did was week havoc on my system. I will NEVER AGAIN TOUCH THIS PILL. I am starting to take Yasmin again and can't wait to be normal. I can't fit into any of my summer pants...

I have a question. I'm 27 years old an just switched to Lestrin from Yaz. Had no problem with weight on Yaz. Been on Loestrin for about 2 weeks and have gained about 10 pounds. Anyone else have this issue?

I am so glad to have found this site...I started Yasmin almost 18 months ago, and really I didn't think I could tell a difference in my mood/emotions or energy level, etc. (However, a month later I got engaged and started a new job in the same week, which brought on enough stress as it was!) Everyone else in my life, though noticed I was acting differently - depressed, bouts with anxiety, mood swings, NO LIBIDO, couldn't wear my contacts any longer, headache after headache, emotionless....finally, I realized (18 months later) what the "x-factor" was in all of this, and it seems to have been the Yasmin. Over the last several months, my breasts have gotten extremely swollen and overly tender. I haven't had much weight gain, except for I feel bloated all the time, which makes me feel like I am a walking water balloon. Being an athelete, I am very active and stick to a farily-strict diet, but I can barely move with my boobs going from a B-cup to spilling out of a C-cup!
I just stopped the pill last Thursday and have started my period as expected...has anyone had the swollen breasts/bloated side-effect? How long does it generally take for one's body to get back to normal?
