I've been on birth control for over a year now and I just started taking a new one recently and I've noticed that it's making me gain weight... The week I'm off the pill, I will lose 5 pounds, but as soon as I start taking it again, the weight piles back on... It's SO frustrating b/c I can't seem to get rid of it... Any tips to get rid of this (I'm assuming it's water weight?) before I can get a new pill? I am going to switch brands b/c it's annoying me a lot... but is there anything I can do before then? (Also, I'm taking Desogen and I've taken Lo-Ovral and it made me gain weight, too. I used to take yasmin and it was great, but I had to stop b/c it was too expensive... I don't know if that helps!)
