weight gain fright

I'm about to start going on birth control but I am in fear of gaining weight because i already have to watch everything I eat and go to the gym on a regular basis and im still not the thinnest person in the world. I was thinking on going on Yaz, but i'm not exactly sure which one i will go on. If anyone could give me an insight on the pills they took and side effects they recieved that would be great.

Re: weight gain fright

Desogen (Apri) BCP's made me gain about 10 lbs. I stopped 3 weeks ago and have lost around 3-4lbs. I was fine when I was on Ortho Tri cylen. If I ever go back on them again I will go on Ortho Tri Cyclen. Both made me lose sex drive. Good luck to you!!

Re: weight gain fright

I have been on Ortho LO, Solia and now im on Yasmin and my Gyno told me that Yasmin is good for keeping the weight off and ive been on it since july 2006 and so far not much weight gain at all for me unlike ortho lo. But then it hasn't really made me loose much weight either just kept it the same. But i am going to stay on it though.

Re: weight gain fright

Most pills my weight stayed the same, but Ovcon 35 gave me such terrible water retention, I am still dealing with it 9 months after quitting the pill--though it is much improved now, thank God. I have lost 15 of 20 lb. of mostly water weight gained on Ovcon 35. I am seeing an endocrinologist later this month as this amount of severe water retention even after stopping the pill over half a year ago just doesn't seem normal. I'm a lot less bloated now, but I swear I can still feel fluid moving around in my legs...ugh! This water retention is the worst type of weight gain, it makes you look puffy and does not respond at all to good diet or exercise and is basically uncontrollable.

Re: weight gain fright

There is just as many people that gain weight as there is, people that lose weight. I lost 5 Ibs and kept it off
