I am in the same boat as the rest of you. I was on Loestrin a year ago and switched because of the cost. I then called my doctor up and switched back, but not without asking if it could cause me to gain weight. She said no, but I now know she was wrong. When I was off the pill I lost about 10 pounds. Since being back on it, I have gained the weight back in spite of working out and trying to eat better. I know it is the pill doing this. I also have had horrible headaches. After reading this blog, I am calling my doctor tomorrow and switching back to Ortho Tricyclen. Don't want to gain the weight while I am working out to lose it! Good luck to you others.
