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 have not experienced any weight gain since I've been on Loestrin. You may want to speak with your doctor about this.

NO. I've actually lost weight. Loestrin is a good pill for me. That's a bit strange that you have gained 10 lbs in two weeks . Loestrin for me is great...my periods are tolerable and i have no weight gain. I've been on Loestrin since fed 23.

I have also gained weight being on Loestrin for 3 weeks. I've been SEVERELY BLOATED non stop for 3 FULL WEEKS. It's like I'm pregnant or hiding a water balloon. 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 tried Yasmin. No difficulties what so ever, thought I switch to save money and all I did was wreek havoc on my system. I will NEVER AGAIN TOUCH THIS PILL.

I've been on this stupid pill for 8 days and I've gained 9 pounds. I'm also used to getting on the treadmill for up to two hours....couldn't make it past 10 minutes because my calves swelled up so bad that the pain just made it impossible to move that fast.
