In the past 10 years of my life I have been on 4 different types of BC pills. I saw weight gain with all of them. I guess you could try the lo hormone one...but I gained on that one to.

I am not one to blame weight gain on something other than myself, but in this particular situation what ever pill I take I will have weight gain from it. I only had about a 5 pound gain anyway...so really I don't think that is too big of a deal.

Well, the best method for birth control that won't cause you a weight gain is abstinence!
Seriously, if you are worried about 2 lbs, why don't you just try exercising?
Do some cardio, some jogging, or even some yoga.

The pill doesnt cause weigh gain. However, your hormones can cause you to have cravings. Identifying that they are only craving and learning to deal with them is the best thing. Identify what triggers your cravings. Then work on eliminating them.
Many ppl gain small amounts of weight before their period. It's usually just water weight that goes away a day or two after their period. Drink plenty of water and exercise and it will help with this water weight gain. IF you still feel the pill is the problem perhaps talk to the dr that prescribed them for you.
My dr told me that there is no evidence that the pill caused any of my weight. It was more likely bad eating habits.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
