Yes, you will gain weight when taking this. Just remember to eat right and exercise. Then the pounds you gain you stay a minimum.

Are you taking Ortho Tri Cyclin Lo? I have taken the regular one and gained a good amount of weight from it. I went off the pill for a couple years and lost the weight. Then I wanted to go back on the pill without gaining weight. The doctor suggested Ortho Tri Cyclin Lo. I was on it for about 3 months. It was a lot better, but I did begin to retain water a little bit, so I gave up. I haven't been on the pill since then, and that was about 4 years ago. Talk to your doctor. Tell him/her your concerns about weight gain. I know in the past few years, many new versions of birth control have come out. All of my friends are using one or another and say they do not gain weight from it. So, talk to the doc.

I have been taking this for years and I haven't gained any weight at all. I was worried about weight gain also when I started, but my doctor told me that as long as I stayed somewhat physically active that probably wouldn't be an issue, which it hasn't. It has done wonders for my skin, though! I can't remember the last time I got a pimple!

ortho tri cyclin is actually really good. it will not let you gain too much weight, only a few pounds if any, and it is great for acne. it will clear your face./
i loved when i took it.

you should not gain much weight because of Tricyclin. Always watch what you are eating and how much calories you are burning. According to some doctor Tricyclin prevent breast cancer. But one can not depend on these researches. Because one research will decide something today and everyone will start follow accordingly and after few years other will say no that was a wrong finding. Now how could someone believe 100% on what they are telling us.
If I were you I will try Yoga and exercise and give my mind and body the natural way to heal.
With regards

I gained wieght, but I didn't care at the time. If you continue to eat blanced meals and exercise then you won't gain an ounce.
