Gaining weight...?

From birth control??

I know I have, even though it's a slight 5 pound difference.

Have any of you women experienced this, were the effects temporary or long lasting?? Thanks!

Update:

I knew it was a possible side affect, damn BC.

    it is defnitiely one of the side effects to gain weight. its comepletely normal - hormones. it can also cause a decrease in your sex drive, and an increase in headaches. i was lucky enough to experience all of that - but if you dont want to get prego - its worth it! lol

    Its hormonal, side effect of the drug. the drug is telling your body that u are pregnant thats why you are gaining. stop taking it or eat less.
