Try a different form of contraceptive. Where as the pill makes some women gain weight it didn't do that to me, but the Depo Shot made me gain at least 4 pounds every shot. I gain 20 pounds before I discontinued using it. Terrible experience.

Usually a pill with 'lo' or 'low' in the name should help to reduce weight-gain due to water retention. They have lower levels of estrogen in them.
On the bright side though, studies are showing that birth control pills do not cause weight-gain!

I also found yasmin great for losing weight - about 15lbs in 4 months. it's a relatively low dose pill.

Yes, when I took Yasmin for 6 months I lost nearly 10 lbs.

Remember that what works for one woman could do the opposite for another. Sometimes it takes a # of tries. Good luck.
