It could be making you gain weight. That is often a side effect from birth control.. I gained about ten pounds when I went on a different birth control several years ago. Call your doctor and see if there is any way to switch. There are so many different types now.

I was on this pill and it did make me gain weight. This is one of the main reasons I got switched off of it.

I would say most likely. That was the 1st pill I was on and gained weight from it. everyone is different though. That was the only side effect that I had from it. All the others that I had been on made me sick. So I went back to it.

I'm on lo/ovral and this is my first month but I haven't noticed any weight gain. Actually, a family member said it looked like I lost some weight. I know weight gain could be a side effect to any birth control pill but the reason I chose this one is because it wasn't as prevalent.

How long have you been on it? Have you experienced any other side effects?

all brith control pills have the weight gain sideeffect. It's only about ten pounds and its becuase of hormonal changes. I wouldn't suggest changing to a diffrent dosage becuase it may cuase you to have other side effects. If its not making you sick or moody then stick with it.
