For those who have been on norethindrone acetate (aygestin), did you experience weight gain and did it stop increasing or even reduce back to your original weight?

I've been on it for about 6 weeks. Right now I am at 12.5mg/day and next week will increase my dosage to the 15mg goal. It is absolutely helping with my pain, but I have gained over ten pounds and continue to gain. I think it is mostly water retention as I feel bloated a lot. I'm very curious if the weight gain will stop increasing. I'd really like to get rid of that extra ten pounds and be able to wear my pants again. I eat a very healthy diet and exercise almost every day. I do not think this is due to appetite change.

Thanks.
