It's not proven as to whether people gain weight on birth control. I found personally that it was easier to lose weight while on birth control. A friend of mine gained about 5 pounds. I wouldn't worry about gaining weight.

The weight gain, if any, is not much at all. I did gain weight my first time on the pill, but that's because I was hungrier ... so I had to be aware of that. Just eat normally and don't worry about it, and you'll be fine.

Weight gain - IF it happens - should be marginal (in the range of 5-6 lbs). Just remember that you need to be aware of cravings....those are what make you gain weight, not the pill.

It has never been medically proven that the Pill causes you to gain weight. I asked my doctor this same question.
