Ortho-tri cyclen lo

I have been on this for almost a month now...I feel like my stomach is a bloated balloon will this eventually go away?  I have a fear of weight gain...I currently am menstruating but 2 weeks ago I was 120lbs I weighed myself now and it said 129lbs...I'm 5'8 but this is still a big issue for me.  Is this water weight and will it go away?  I have no choice but to stay on these pills because I get cycsts on my ovaries.......

I gained about 10 pounds when I started taking lo. Some of it was water weight, some of it wasn't. Doing a little cardio a couple times a week, staying away from excess salt, and drinking lots of water helps.
