First of all, if you're 5'6 you should weigh more than 105 (not to sound rude or anything). I am 5'3 and 135 pounds and wear a size 6 and I am 18 years old and I personally think that you could've stood to put on the weight :) hehehe...
with my experience (5 years blah!) all triphasil pills have made me gain a TREMENDOUS amount of weight! I was put on ortho tri-cyclen in January and was just switched to Ovcon-35. In the time I was on ortho tri-cyclen i gained about 15-20 pounds! If I were you I would switch to a monophasic pill. Also, wait out the 3 month "trial period" so your body has a chance to get used to the pills. The weight may come off. Mine is coming off fast now that I've switched bc pills. Also the estrogen in bc pills is what makes your breasts bigger. I'm a 34DD and 18 years old so I definately hear you on not wanting bigger breasts.
So my personal suggestion is ask for a different pill if you're still not happy after 3 months :) it's all trial and error with bc pills to find the one you like.
If you have any other questions, just ask :)
