Hello! I'm new to myfitnesspal and am anxious to see how this works!

My major concern stems from my weight gain after a birth control switch. Has anyone had this issue? How did you overcome it?

    Welcome to MFP!

    When I first started birth control I did gain weight (not much-just about 5 pounds) and also had really low energy. After talking with some friends I switched from the three week cycle variety (orthotricyclen) to a brand that gives me the same amount of hormones each day. Once I switched I evened back out and the extra bloat went away.
