Q: Weight Gain On Alesse

I've been on alesse for about a week and a half and it seems like I'm gaining weight. I don't feel very good about my body!! I used to wear my bras on the first clip and now its the last!! Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Is this just my body getting used to the hormones? Also my friend was telling me to take the pills at night. I've been taking them in the morning and she was telling me that it makes you want to eat more throughout the day. I haven't noticed a big change in my eating habits though? ...... Would like to hear your input ladies. Thx

You should ask your doctor to change your pills some are high in estrogen and make you gain weight. Also, you should not get more than five pounds while using birth control.
