Hi Cooper! I can tell you that my daughter just stopped taking Low - Ogestrel. She had been on Aviane initially, but had breakthrough bleeding, so switched to Low-Ogestrel. In a 2 month period of time, she has gained 10 pounds. She exercisies regularly and eats healthy, so this is the only change in her life. That, along with an increase of at least an entire cup size, was just too much for her small frame, so she decided to stop before it got out of hand. I have seen posts where after several months, this weight gain tends to even out, but we were not willing to take that chance. She will just be starting ortho-tri lo tomorrow which was her very first one she was ever on. She seemed to do well on that, but we had to switch because of insurance purposes. She is hoping that it will still be the same for her this time around, and hopefully the breasts will go down, and with a little hard work, so will the weight. If it doesn't she is off of pills entirely for a while. Now, I don't want to scare you, because if there is one thing I have learned throughout this entire research period, is that everyone reacts differently even to the same pill, and it is a little trial and error unfortunately. We didn't even know what to think at the start of this weight gain, because she had never experienced that before, and we didn't even give it a second thought. But after having her thyroid checked, and all was well, it dawned on us that it was the BCP, and it all started when she switched. Low- ogestral is 30 mg of estrogen compared to Aviane's 20. The progestrin is more also, but a different kind. This is just our experience, of course, so good luck to you.
