    It isn't the pill itself that makes you gain weight, it's more the hormones - they make you want to eat more.

    I didn't know this and have been on it for about 5 years with a couple of short breaks, but went off it completely for two months at the beginning of the year. I finally started to feel I had a flat stomach, until I went back on it again and got bloating again. I swear the bloating is the damn pill, and I am thinking of going off it again and staying off (despite how convenient it is!).

    Just make sure you're really vigilant with your calorie counting and keep up the exercise so you can eat a bit more without blowing out your net calories :)
