Cryselle/Low-ogestrel and bloating

Hello all! I have a question for anyone who might have experience or information about using the generic version of Cryselle.

I just started on the pill for the first time in many many years. I started the pack on Monday, and by last night, I noticed my waistline ballooning. My stomach looks like I'm a few months pregnant, so much so that I even took a pregnancy test! It was negative, as expected.

Does this crazy bloating have something to do with Low-ogestrel in particular or does this kind of thing happen with most BC pills? Should I call my doctor and ask for Yasmin or another type of pill?

Thanks!

It is definitely a case-by-case thing. I just switched to Cryselle from Yasmin because while on Yasmin I gained 10 pounds in 3 months and went up a cup size... and this was right before my wedding!! :( Cryselle has been so much better for me, I lost the weight and my cups are back to normal. I would give Cryselle/Low-Ogestrel a few months, but then if it continues, ask for a switch. Good luck!
