I just started loestrin 24 two weeks ago and I have put on 4 lbs. i never fluctuate weight for years. Is this normal? will i keep gaining or is this initial water weight that will go away? Its not that much but its enough that its bothering me and i am scared i will keep gaining. do you retain water the first month? also, did anyone find it decreased their libido? TIA

A decrease in libido is the most common complaint of being on any birth control pill.

Just not interested in sex as much. When I did have sex it didn't ever interfere with my ability to orgasm. I was on the pill for just over 4 years before I went off to conceive a child, and now I've chosen something different.
