Michelle - My Dr. has me of Met and Levlite - a very low dose of BCP ... She said the BCP alone will not make you ovulate and the Met alone will not make you have periods however the combination should work effectively for both, although there are no guarentees with ovulation. The Levlite, she explained, is such a low dose that it is very less likely to make you gain weight... I have not gained weight with it ,,, Amy
