WEIGHT GAIN!! Holy Cow!... I've weighed 115 lbs for the last 4 years of my life. I started on this new pill last week and in the past WEEK that I have i gained 6 lbs!!! It's not like I changed my lifestyle or decided to become a fast food junkie either. All factors are constant. I went to the gym today and I when I stepped on the scale I almost had a heart attack. I noticed I was bloated and everything was fitting tighter ( I just thought my fiance did laundry again and shrunk everything ). Has anyone else had weight gain from this pill? I have been on other pills, Yasmin, Alese, etc in the past and this never ever happened. Will this go away after the first month??

Oh my gosh!!! It DOES get worse! I weighed about 110 forever and gained 30 pounds on this pill!! I had taken other birth control for about 15 years and hadn't had that weight gain. I was on this pill about 2 1/2 years but recently (2 months ago) got off of it. I did not change my lifestyle either...ran 2 1/2 or more miles a day...even up to 4 miles a day...and the weight WOULD NOT come off. I've now lost 5 of the 30 pounds and I have 25 pounds left to go!! It's a nightmare!!! And my boobs STILL hurt while this crap is getting out of my system. They hurt SO bad sometimes I can barely stand it. Good luck!
