Weight loss on birth control pills?

FordGal40

For any ladies out there, how has your weight loss worked with birth control pills?

I am on a 21-day pill pack. When I wasn't taking pills last week, I was able to lose weight pretty well. When I started my new pill pack, I immediately gained 2.5 pounds. I'm assuming it's water weight, but I am not sure what to do about it. Its a little discouraging to be down without the pills but immediately go up 2.5 when I start taking the new pack.

Any advice anyone can offer me? I go to my doctor next month, I thought I'd ask there but thought I would ask the MFP ladies in advance
