Most lower dose pills shouldn't cause weight gain. You may also want to
have some tests dont to make sure there isn't anything else going on.

I can't believe the weight I've gained! I am on Orthocyclen pills and I noticed the weight gain happen almost immediatley after christmas. I and my boyfriend feel as though it happened over night almost! I can't fit into any of my pants or dresses and have had to spend 200 hundred dollars on new clothes! I've clontacted my doctor finally and she says she is switching me- but I'd like to know what pill would be least likely to cause me to gain weight? I keep hearing this speil about how eveybody experiences different things- but I've talked to alot of people who told me they gained TONS of weight on Othocylen pills. I'd like to hear which pills worked for which people because I can't make an informed choice without somet

>>ing to go on. AND NO the weight gain was not caused by OVER EATING or lack of EXCERCISE- I'm a regular at the YMCA and I'm a vegetarian who eats plenty of Beans, Grains and Tofu. HELP ME! I'm dcared if I keep staying on the pill I'll be this size forever!
