It is normal because of the hormones. They trick your body into thinking you're pregnant and you can put on 5-10 extra pounds a year even if you do everything right. Talk to your doc and see if there's another option for you.

Weight gain is a normal side effect of some birth control. You could always talk to your doctor and see if they will prescribe you a different brand. Some have lower doses of hormones than others. I use Seasonale, and have not gained any weight. I did gain on OrthoCept and OrthoTricyclin.

I have used Ortho Novum 7/7/7/ 28 day pills since I married my hubby in 2001. I have never noticed a weight gain with these, and I don't know if they will be right for you, but I did recommend a few friends to try these and they like them. Hope this helps.

It is normal but ou don't really gain a lot. Just keep exercising and watch your diet like you have been, and go back to see the doctor if you have any more weightgain.

That is normal, contact your doctor and maybe they'll change your dosage or the prescription.
