Ortho Tricyclen and bloating?

I've been on OTC since September, and I experienced no bloating, but when I moved back home from University, I'm bloating almost everyday, is it 'cause of the pill? I am not eating any differently and I'm only exercising more. I also can't lose any weight no matter what I eat/exercise. Is anyone else experiencing this? And should I change to a lower hormone Pill, will that help?

Hi crazyleafsfan, welcome!

Mmmm... not eating any differently at home than when at university? I wouldn't think the bloating is caused by your pill if it has been working well for you the entire school year. I think your problem beginning after you returned home is a clue. Have you been hitting the sodas more since being home? You might want to keep a food log to see exactly what you are eating. That might point out something that’s not obvious.

Good luck,
