Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone has experienced any major weight gain while taking loestrin24? I have been on it for a little ove 2 months now and have noticed i am gaining weight and I work out every day for an hour or more and watch what I eat. The gain isnt from working out since clothes that I have bought just last month are to tight. Any information would be great.

Thanks,
Jess

Hey..well i have been on losestrin24 fe for about a year and i have less side effects then other pills but i hate the weight gain. I dont think its the pill persay...but it is the pill that has changed my body greatly. I think im just gaining weight because it makes me feel more hungry. Some parts of the month i dont feel like eating at all...but the majority of the month i feel like i cant get full, no matter how much i eat...also, i was at a steady weight for a while, and then all the sudden last month i gained 7 pounds in a matter of days, i'm not sure why i didnt change the way i normally eat, but i'm thinking it is the pill...i cant seem to get that weight off..I dont know if this is going to help you at all, but i just wanted to let you know you're not the only one with this side effect.

I took Loestrin for about four years and didn't gain any weight.
