Most Birth Control pills cause extra weight gain.  While I was on mine, I at well balanced meals, exercised and cut out all carbohydrated drinks.  I had gained weight while on the Depo shot and then switched over to BCP.  This helped me lose some of the weight I had gained while on Depo.  I lost about 20 pounds.  It was so hard to lose the weight because I still had the Depo in my system and I was on BCPs.

hey...why don't you change pills? I think it could be the easiest solution....I was on OTC lo for a while and I gained weight too besides all the nauceas it gave me so I changed to Alesse...which put me back in my normal weight...but had to leave it for other reasons...your body will react different to different level of hormones...

I was put onto yasmin but didnt take many I think only 2, but I ws told that its the best one out there for women who have probs, I guess thats not true then.

Changing may be the best option for you then.

Can I ask you guys I put on alot of weight aswell and thought it was my imagination until I weighed myself! (I was on a diet aswell!) Any ideas how I can lose it Im trying hard to control my eating and make sure I eat right times etc (Ive gone back to missing breakfast and lunch bad idea I know) but Im still so hungry all the time even tho Ive been off the pill a while now. Any ideas what else I can do, Ive been using a stepper and trying to do a lot of walking but to no avail :-(

I took Yasmin and I didn't gain weight.  I think Yasmin tends to make you gain less anyway.  Maybe you can try another brand will less estrogen.
