some pills just do that to people. Ortho Tricyclen Lo made me bloated/retain water the week before the placebos. I would gain a good 5 pounds just in water. Ugh, it made me feel awful! It really isnt one of those things that goes away with time (like, say, spotting would go away after a couple monts).
After OTC Lo, I switched to Mircette, and I felt great. no more bloating.
(I eventually had to stop the Mircette too because it made my blood pressure too high.. I now have a Paragard IUD, it has no hormones, and I'm loving it).
