Calling all Kariva users

Can someone that's on, or has been on, this pill give me a run-down of side effects, etc. you've experienced? I realize everyone is different but I'd like to here from people who have used this particular pill (not Mircette). I'm considering switching pills due to a 7 lb. weight gain on Ovcon-35. I know, it doesn't seem like much of a gain, but I've lost about 35 lbs. and have been able to keep it off, until now anyway. Thanks for your help.

Re: Calling all Kariva users

Kavira is the generic of Mircette, so perhaps by asking for experiences of BOTH Kavira and Mircette users you'll get more responses. As well, side effects differ for each woman. Not every woman will gain weight on a given pill, just as not all will experience breast growth, or cramp reduction, etc. It depends entirely on the woman. Talking to your doctor would be your best bet, as he or she will know your history and be able to make an educated guess as to which pill would best suit your needs.

Okay, Mircette (Kariva, specifically)? Any takers? There used to be a long thread on this pill (Kariva). {removed} Hope to hear from someone soon.

This is the second time I've been on Ovcon-35, and I didn't gain weight the first time, so I know that it can vary even for the same woman. I was just hoping to get some feedback on it (Kariva) from someone who's taken it. Thanks, though.
