This is common unfortunately. The simple solution is to go to your gp and change to a different bc pill. He will know what would best suit you. I did this and it was so much better and I stopped putting on weight. DO NOT go off the pill entirely.

The other ones out there are Nuva Ring and Implanon. The weight gain that occurs with the pill is mostly that of water because of the hormones in the medication, but I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.

that happened to me for about the the first 4 months i started taking the pill. now my cravings for food and weight gain has stopped and im back to normal. i hope you go back to normal as well. just give it time, give your body time to adjust and get used to it.
