Hi, I was wondering if any of you found that the bcp either made you lose or gain weight? (and what type of bcp you took)

I'm on metformin now, but am thinking of taking bcp too, and I really want to lose weight!

I gained a few pounds on Ortho-Tri, nothing happened on Mircette, and I have lost a few pounds on Yasmin. I'm not a "thin cyster" but I'm not extra-heavy either so take all that for what you will.

Tried Ortho-Tri, terrible terrible. Mircette saved my life. Then tried Yasmin which was OK but had some side effects.

Now I'm back on Kariva (generic Mircette) with a low dose of Spiro. Ten bucks a month and I'm in a deliciously good mood.

I took that quiz and I'm Curry Flavored, how cool is that?

According to the insulin-resistance diet book and other sources, there is evidence to suggest that the bcp alters your insulin balance. I gained a great deal of weight while on loestrin.

Well for me, and I was curious about this too, last year when I was on bcps I was having a very easy time losing weight. I then went off to ttc and the weight just started coming back. I have lost 30lbs and I am back up 20. I haven't changed anything. I think I eat healthier now and the weight just seems to find me. I am no for sure what the name of the bcps were. We are still ttc, and it seems like it is getting harder because of the weight gain.
