Yasmin or ortho-tri-cyclen lo are the two that are advertised for low weight gain. But in the end it all depends upon the person and how there body reacts to it.....it's just a trial and error. You could switch from birth control to birth control until you find one that you like. I've used Loestrin FE but went off of it when I realized I wasnt a pill taker and it's not worth your money to buy birth control pills if you cant remember to take them...then there not working correctly. I used the patch too but hated it, it physically left scars on me...I have little squares on the back of my shoulder,lower abdomen and lower back still and I havent used them for 3 months now. And they were always coming off,they get caught on your clothes especially when on your abdomen and lower back, when on your shoulder or back people can see it (in the summer) and it basically looks like a dirty band aide after about 2 days of wearing it. Then I went on the Depo-provera injection and I loved it,was on it before,went off and decided to go back on it 3 months ago....no period,and no having to remember a pill everyday..I didnt gain weight from it like a lot of other people complain about...nor did I on any of the other 2 I talked about. You just have to try and see which ones you like...good luck and dont be afraid to ask your md to switch you to something else if you dont like what you get put on.

I've been on ortho evra for four years. I've heard a lot people talk bad about it, but it's worked for me. i don't have any side effects and i skip my periods (by doctors orders) because I have really bad migraines. So Orthoevra helps it. When I was on the pill I had really bad spotting, cramps, etc. It was horrible. The docs thought I wouldn't do good on ortho evra b/c of that but for some reason it worked. no weight gain either.
