ok, so i've gained a bunch of weight (or so it seems) ever since i have started the pill. i initially gained a little weight on the femcon just because it increased my appetite. after taking the femcon for three months, i switched to yaz and my appetite returned back to normal, yet i have continued to gain weight!!! i count every calorie i eat, and i know i am not eating any more than i used to!! it was nice at first because it all went to my hips and boobs, but now it's getting out of hand and i'm about to have to go buy all new pants. i don't want to get off the yaz because of how it's helped with my hairiness a little, for what its done for my skin, and even my nails (maybe? yeah, weird, i know.), which have been growing in thicker and stronger since i started taking yaz. is anyone else experiencin mysterious weight gain on yaz? how do i make it stop?!?!?!!

I gained weight when I started BCP's too. I understand you are counting "every calorie" but are you doing anything to burn off those calories?

of course! the thing is i never used to do hardly any excercise for excercise's sake, and i used to lose weight alot without trying, or just never gain a pound no matter what i ate. ever since i started gaining weight like this, i've made an affort to ride my bike almost every day and do a ton of situps. plus, i eat really healthy. a good portion of my diet is raw fruits and vegetables and veggie burgers, so that's why it's really confusing me.
