I gained a little weight on orthotricyclen, but less than with other pills, and some of it was just water. Anything that dorks with your hormones has a high potential to affect your weight, but a couple of pounds of water or fat does *not* make you "huge". I agree with lungbuster though. Get a bf% test. Based on your stats, you are *not* fat in the general sense, but it's up to personal perception, obviously. Don't put too much faith in the scale as long as you are active and probably building and maintaining some good, lean muscle mass. That's the *good* weight.

Don't sweat a couple pounds, though. Weight can fluctuate a couple pounds even from morning to night (and it's not from fat).
