I have always practiced NFP(Natural Family Planning), and it's worked awesome! This is not the outdated unreliable "rhythm method." I cannot say enough about it. It's 99% effective when practiced correctly, promotes a healthy respectful relationship with your spouse, and the only type of birth regulation that is TOTALLY natural--no hormones! Here's a link to more info if you're interested...

I have the Mirena, and I've had no issues with gaining weight, trying to lose weight/inches. Plus, I have no more "that time of the month." It's fantatic and freeing!0

Well, during the short period of time I had health insurance I was on Joleesa which is the generic form of Seasonique (that may be spelled wrong) and I actually lost weight on it....not much but a bit. Plus it's the sort of pill where you only get TOM 4 times a year (soooooo amazing!!!!) so you don't have to worry about that monthly 2-3 pound influx.
I take Levora, which is another generic form of Seasonique. I didn't gain any weight on it and it is FABULOUS to have fewer periods every year. Plus, I don't experience mood swings, excessive bloating or hunger when I do have my TOM. Also, you can get if from most pharmacies for $12-$25 if you are uninsured.0 -
I have been on loestrin and ortho novum 7/7/7. I have never gained weight with either, although the loestrin did make me a little jittery for the first few weeks. I really feel like part of it is psychosomatic - if you think you are gonna gain weight, you will probably start slipping up and then gain weight!0
