OTC lo and weight gain?

Hey all,

I have been taking OTC lo for almost two months and I think it has caused some weight gain, I could just be paranoid and it could be from something else! but I just wondering if anyone else has felt this way.

thanks

I'm in my third month with OTC-LO...second week & no spotting!!!! I'm sorry I just had to throw that in. Anyway I have not experienced any weight gain. But I'm sure everyone is different.

Ive been on otc lo for almost a year now and my complaint is I CANT loose the weight no matter what I do. I dont really think the pill caused weight gain at first ( i actually lost) and I cant say if it solely contributed to my gain in weight or if it was that I was living a whole new lifestyle at college. Not sure if that helped, but...

Hey Melissa, I'm just curious...have you tried going on a strict diet and exercise and still seeing no results? I ask because I'm having the same problem. Ever since I went on the pill, I gained weight and I even went off for a while and didn't loose much of the weight I gained. But I do notice that I do snack more now and pick after dinner sometimes too, so I am thinking that is why I'm not loosing anything. Do you notice anything different in your eating habits? Thanks!!
