Grr..I started in on birth control 3 months before my wedding and had to get my dress altered 3 days before it. 4 months before I even started birth control, I was amazingly LOSING weight, got all the way down to the smallest size I had ever been and was so excited for my wedding dress. I was on ortho-TCL for a year and now im 25 lbs heavier. And no, my eating style did not change, it actually got better with married life. I recently stopped taking it and now we are just using other forms of b.c. Anyone else have this problem ???

The reason birth control works the way it does is because it tricks your body into thinking you're pregnant. With most birth controls it puts out enough hormones that is equivalent to being two months pregnant, which is when a lot of women gain weight. The boobs getting bigger is another common side effect. It's usually pretty hard to lose that weight without going off the pill too.

When I was on the pill I gained weight like crazy, along with being sick to my stomach on a daily basis.
I changed to getting the depo shot which you get once every three months and I also gained weight but happy to say I was not sick every day.
I have had my babies now and got fixed. yeah for me.
If you think about it the pill tells your body to not release eggs, which is what your body stops doing when you are preggers, and you gain weight when you are pregnant because your body knows it has to take care of more than one being...some women gain more weight then others and some don't gain weight at all.
However just weigh your options and wither or not you want to have children.
Sometimes it takes a few times to find the pill that is right for you, they do have pills that have less hormones in them and that might help you.
good luck

Yes, I did, I gained 20 pounds, and I had also problems with water retention. Try yasmine, it is much better, and doesn't blow you up!!! I believe it even has an diuretic effect, good for those days with bloating :)
