Question Zovia/Demulen

hey, I'm sorry if this is a redundant question but I'm new to the forum and I haven't found much about this....

but have any of you taken the bcp Zovia (Demulen)?? I just started today; so far it is all that was prescribed to me for pcos, (it's also the first bcp I've ever taken) and I was wondering if any of you are taking it or have taken it and your experiences with it. (pros and cons.)

Also, do any of you know if it is likely to cause weight gain? I'm very worried about that. I know bcp's are different for everyone but I'm still curious.

I'd appreciate any honest responses! Thanks for helping!

I used Demulen for nearly 7 years. I didn't have issues with weight gain, however weight isn't an issue for me in general.

I switched to Alesse at the beginning of this year and have found it better. (shorter, lighter and less painful periods, as well as generally better moods)
