Does any type of birth control pill such as alesse make you gain weight because of the hormonal dose? Is it the hormones the make you gain weight or is it the increase in appetite?

Taking birth control pills gives you a 50/50 chance of gaining or losing weight. It is water retention if you gain & it's usually temporary.

Increase in appetite! Birth control doesnt cause weight gain. Weight gain occurs when you consume too many calories.

The only birth control that has been scientifically proven to cause weight gain is the depo-provera shot. The pill, the patch and the ring have not been proven to cause weight gain although it is often blamed for post puberty and puberty weight gain.

well i take ortho tri cyclen LO and i haven't had any increase/decrease in appetite, or weight. probably because this specific brand of birthcontrol does not contain all those extra hormones like the others one do...
