Thats just what I was thinking when I started I was like...Uh just how much weight gain exactly??:p
well its not for shure. Some people gain wait.. Some even lose weight. Then some just stay the same. I havent noticed any real change so far (im on ortho tri cyclen). Im sure that eating healtier and regular excersize wouldnt hurt at all (lol booo). It may help you keep your weight down to where you began and even though they say you gain weight I dont think that the weight gain is like monsterous. But id just wait it out for the first little bit and you'll probably just balance it out if you give it a chance. If it really bothers you id just go back to the doctor who prescribed

Thanks roach.

Im on orthotricyclen-lo and I havent gained a pound...I guess some girls are different though!....

First, don't ever listen to other people when it comes to weight gain. Everyone is different and everyone's bodies react in different ways to birth control. Some gain and some lose. I think a lot of it is psychological. Just don't think about it and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Drink lots of water so your body doesn't retain more. You may have to pick up the pace a little, but I don't think the weight gain is significant enough to need a vigorous workout.
